Finding Myself

It took a very long time for me

To find out who I really am

The feelings stayed all locked up

Inside me as if they were in a can

I have been to the edge and back

The edge of life that is

And I know how hard it's been

But for me at the time was something

I know in my heart that had to be seen

I took sick many years ago

And for me it was hard to take

So I took it upon myself

To make a big mistake

It nearly cost me my life back then

And is something I will always regret

But my heart and spirit for living now

Are stronger and something I won't forget

I thank the Angel that saved me

I owe her my life for sure

She came to me with the biggest smile

And a love that was ever pure

She told me I was too early

To be heading for Heaven's door

So I turned and walked away from it

Knowing on earth that I had to do more

I do the best I can each and every day

To make this world a better place

Knowing that some day I will be called home

To a Heaven that's full of warmth and grace

My spirit for living is abundant now

Filled to the brim with desire and love

To make someone happy each day I am here

Is my assignment from Heaven above

I found myself that dreadful day

And now I know my worth

That I have much to offer here

To my family and friends on earth

Thank you dear Angel for being there

And for telling me I was wrong

For if you had not showed up when you did

I know that I would be gone

I'm everything I am today

Because you showed me how to love

And how to accept love for what it is

My Angel from Heaven above
