In the arms of an Angel

In the arms of an Angel she gently lay

Soft caress of down and feathers upon her face

Safe protected without care

nestled in Heaven's grace

In the arms of an Angel she was lifted

 beyond the stars in the night sky

In moonlight and moonbeams she was set free to fly

From the arms of an Angel she took a leap of faith

not knowing where she would land

In the instant she did so in the moment she let go

the Angel took her hand

In the arms of an Angel

all was forgiven all was released

all pain all sorrow

and the rainbows appeared in the sky

with a promise of a bright tomorrow

In the arms of an Angel

she wept those unshed tears

for the forgotten dreams of childhood years

In the arms of an Angel she flew

into the sky the heavens so blue

Spirit it lifted her higher

and her soul it did sing

and the gift of compassion love understanding

 to her the Angels did bring
