In the darkness they bring
To the light you must go
A child of God, an angel to all
Fear not of the unknown
Because you know now your worth
Protect us and guide us
Free from the pain you endured
Free from the shackles of others sins
Learn of love and compassion
From the plain you now walk
You’re spirit set free to love
To know all that is knowing
To learn from a life so short
Your beauty is everlasting
Know the lives you’ve touched
And the memories of those who love you
Of flesh you discard
And fly amongst the stars
Guide those left behind
To see and touch and feel
All the things elusive
Be free angel, embrace the light
Never forgotten, never out of sight
