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
