On Angel’s wings, you were taken away
But in our hearts you will always stay
We will hear your whisper in the tallest trees
Feel your love in the gentle breeze
And when we find we will miss you the most
Inside our beautiful memories
We will hold you close.
You are an angel watching over us
With the comfort and blessings you bring.
You embrace our hearts and hold them close
Forever on Angel’s Wings.
