An angel riding on my shoulder
making me braver, bolder
protecting me in times of woe
don’t ever want him to go

An angel brushing cares away
he’s with me every single day
keeping me centered with his touch
my naughty thoughts make him blush

An angel whispering in my ear
consoling away every fear
he helps me stay calm and steady
always alert, ever-ready

An angel I don’t recognise
couldn’t tell you his shape or size
I’ll meet him properly some day
“Oh, I know you” I’ll say
