My Angel
By Kate Edwards
Another year over

More smiles and tears

You�ve grown so much

Let go of your fears

 

It�s now time to fly

Your wings are done

You may be scared

And want to run

 

If you turn around

You�ll see me there

The one you know

With the crazy hair

 

There�s tears in my eyes
I have to let go

They�re tears of sadness

But I don�t let it show

 

You�re taking that step

Away from me

There�s a whole new world

For you to see

 

You let go of my hand,

Your feet off the ground

There�s nothing to say

We don�t make a sound
 

You�re reaching out

For bluer skies

While tears are falling

From saddened eyes

 

You�re floating away

Almost gone from my sight

Your beautiful wings

Have taken to flight
 

You turn around

To wave goodbye

But I don�t see you

I�ve closed my eyes

 

A familiar person

Is taking my hand

I open my eyes
Beside me you stand

 

But I�m not ready

My wings aren�t done

My feet are dragging

You want me to come

 

I look in your eyes
And know what to do

You�re crying now

You know it too

 

We wipe our tears

And say goodbye

I know one day

That I will fly

 

Until that day

Don�t wait for me

It�s your time now
Go on, be free.
