An Angel On Earth.



An Angel on Earth, my Grandmother was
An Angel in Heaven, she is today.
She cared for all, and asked for none in return
For when you were down, she'd lift you off the ground.

An Angel on Earth, my Grandmother was
An Angel forever, she'll always be.
For no matter who you were, she'd give you her day
To make you safe and sound, she'd give you her love.

An Angel on Earth, my Grandmother was
An Angel in Life, that she used to help others.
For there's no one left like her
And no one left to understand me.

Cause an Angel on Earth, that is my Grandmother
For my Angel you see, will always be she.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I thought of this poem about 4 years after my nanny died, at four o'clock one morning when my mother started talking to me about how our nanny was like an angel on earth when we were younger, as she always helped our mum look after us when she was working or at the hospital. My nanny was also the only person who could understand me, even when I couldn't.
