*** AN ANGEL LOOKING DOWN *** Theres a statue of an angel Standing in a field of stone, Looking over someones sweetheart, Whose left there all alone. She was a friend of mine, And I never will forget, We became as close to sisters, That a real sister can get. If I was ever sad or lonely, A friend in her I found, Shed say Dont you worry Bonnie, Theres an angel looking down. She used to come to our house, On our porch we would have tea, She said,Someday a porch like this one, Is gonna belong to me. After years of work and saving, Her dream finally came true, They built a porch on their new house. Her favorite colour then was blue. Every time I drove by her house, If I wasnt dropping in, Id blow the horn and throw her kisses, Shed be smiling from within. When wed go and sit on her porch, There was a vector lane up there, She loved to watch the jets fly over, Cutting through the summer air. She said it made her feel like angels, Were looking down from way up there, Wed lean back and close our eyes, And rock in our rocking chairs. Inside her house in every room, Were angels shed put there, Her laughter was a thing of beauty, Like her long dark flowing hair. Then out of nowhere came the call, I could tell she was feeling down, She told me,I have cancer, I dropped the phone on to the ground. She said, Its gone too far and theres, Only a few months left if that. She was crying, it was wrong, I couldnt get a grip on that. She fought to live for her family, Who were all the world to her, They had Christmas early, So they could spend it with her there. Her husband hung blue Christmas lights, On her porch specially for her, He never left her side and we, Were all praying for a cure. We went to see her one last time, But not to say goodbye, But a few hours later on we learned, On that very night she died. She lies not far from her home, Where she lived most of her years, She wouldnt want you to remember her, With sorrow, pain and tears. So when I look up and see a jet, Or place a rose there on the ground, A warm breeze will surround me, Cause theres an angel looking down. ( for Mandy) written by Bonnie McGill
