Angel by Your Side

May you always have an angel by your side,
Watching out for you in all things you do.
Reminding you to keep believing in brighter days.
Finding ways for wishes and dreams
to take you to beautiful places.

Giving you hope that is as certain as the sun.
Giving you the strength of serenity as your guide.
May you always have love and comfort and courage.
And may you always have an angel by your side.

May you always have an angel by your side.
Someone there to catch you if you fall.
Encouraging your dreams.
Inspiring your happiness.
Holding your hand and helping you through it all.

In all of our days, our lives are always changing.
Tears come along as well as smiles.
Along the roads you travel,
May the miles be a thousand more times lovely than lonely.

May they give you the kind of gifts that never, ever end:
Someone wonderful to love
and a dear friend in whom you can confide.
May you have rainbows after every storm.
May you have hopes to keep you warm.

And may you always have an angel by your side.

Em 2002 apaixonei-me por um postal no aeroporto de Atlanta, que tinha este poema, comprei-o e guardei-o durante algum tempo, até que encontrei a pessoa certa a quem oferecer. Adoro o poema, alguns versos ficaram gravados na minha memória mas bem arrumadinhos, em Nova Iorque voltei a cruzar-me com o poema inscrito num marcador de livros e a minha memória avivou-se. Resolvi partilhar...
