One day I felt the angel's hand br Brushing my cheeks, on a slow train br Watching the long-lived trees pass by br And homeless men out in the rain. br br The many years sped down the line br She whispered small words that she gave br I knew she was a love divine br For any mortal would have stayed br br And had much more to say; and now br She makes my wings lighter to bear br My spirit sheltered in this life br By certainty that she is there. br br The angel's presence strays so far br By time and distance measuring br Until her light falls by my hands br And leads me to its treasuring.
