PRESENCE

Many times I try to hide
The tears I cry when I am alone

But something in me deep inside
Tells me that I am not truly alone

I feel a presence as my son sleeps
I feel warmth as my eyes weep

And when I wake I feel so new
It is too bad I did not see it sooner

That I had an angel with me all along
Many are with me when I feel alone

I sleep at night knowing that they
Will never betray me or let me stray

They are a presence
That I have come to know
As my guardian angels

They are with me when I feel alone
