Analysis of An Angel Among Us



There's a little angel among us today
Who doesn't want tears of sadness, but tears of joy
Who wants us to know he is in a place where the streets are gold and the clouds are soft as baby's skin.
He wants his beautiful mother and father to know he now has wings and is in God's hands.
"So don't worry, Mommy and Daddy!" he says.
"Its beautiful, mommy, and soon, one day we will be together again and make up for every minute lost."
"I want my family to know when you feel the wind hit your face, thats me."
"When you feel like you can't go on, thats me holding your hand threw it all."
"When all seems lost I'm here to guide you back on track."
"When your down, ill be there to lift you up."
"So don't cry for me down here, for one day we will all be together and can rejoice!"
"Hold each other close and I'll hold you even closer."
"Hold me in your heart and know whenever you need me ill always be there."
