Angel, So Beautiful

Once I held an angel
so beautiful, in my arms,

and her loving heart, 
it was my gift to hold.

And when I looked into her eyes,
I saw such a beautiful soul.

I had her smile to light up my life,
but she said she had to fly away.

I looked at where she once did stand,
in the place I held her hand.

Now she has gone 
and all I can say is,

I wish she didn’t
have to fly away,

and leave my heart
hurting this way.
