"When I have no one to turn to and I am feeling kind of low, When there is no one to talk to and no where I want to go. I search deep within myself It is the love inside my heart, That lets me know my angels are there even though we are miles apart. A smile then appears upon my face and the sun begins to shine, I hear a voice so soft and sweet saying "Everything will be just fine". It may seem that I am alone but I am never by myself at all whenever I need my angels near all I have to do is call. An angels love is always true on that you can depend, they will always stand behind you and will always be your friend through darkest hours and brightest days our angels see us through you are one of my angels perhaps I am one for you"
