Angel Child

In the twilight of a dream
I heard a sobbing child
I turned on the light
And gave her a smile

I saw her standing there
Tears covering her little face
I felt her pain to share
Then our love fell into place

I asked her why she was so sad
She said she didn’t know
She didn’t know if she was good or bad
And didn’t know where to go

Soon our souls seemed to touch
As we held each other tight
The love we felt was so much
As dark grew into light
I told her it was coming dawn
And only one place to be
Suddenly the angel child was gone
Though very magically

I felt great peace and relief
Now knowing who she could be
I know in my heart and believe
The angel child was me
