A Brighter Tomorrow

As I sit and contemplate all the years that have gone by
Out of the darkness appeared an angel right before my eyes.

He asked me to write about my personal life and to carry on
Where he left off and to give my praises to God.
So onward and forward I began to trod.

That angel is the "hero" of my life
My dad and my best friend, for him I will cause no strife.

With pen in hand the words just came from the Holy Spirit deep inside.
The poems came rushing in like a swift but gentle tide.

All the glory goes to my Savior as I begin to write.
Never in my dreams would I believe I could do this, I put up a fight.

I have been blessed each and every day.
For Jesus is my helping hand and inspires me in every way.

I wish my dad were here to see what I have done.
I know the Lord is saying, "Well done my faithful son."

I do hope you believe all that is being told.
An angel did appear although my poems can't be bought or sold.

The greatest gifts come from my Savior and they're to be shared.
An angel came to me one night and he had silver hair.

Believe in angels and when they appear
A brighter tomorrow is waiting for you
Just ask and they will be right there.
