The memories of my childhood are filled with warmth and love,
A time of joy and pleasure, I recall.
A guiding eye watched over me and kept me in her care,
The “footsteps of an angel” broke my fall.

♥
The footsteps of an angel walked always by my side,
She gave me love and lots of strength to grow.
She sacrificed so much, to make sure I had it all,
An angel’s footsteps followed where I’d go.

♥
The footsteps of my angel walked softly in the night,
Unselfishly she’d soothe a sick child’s brow,
She’d walk and pray and comfort, exhausted though she’d be,
She never failed to give to me her smile.

♥

The footsteps of my angel still comfort me today.
She gave me the life of love on which I stand.
She taught me of the Father and Holy Spirit’s love.
She taught me it was He who held her hand.

♥
The footsteps of my angel have slowed a slight bit now,
But still they follow everywhere I go,
She’s in my heart and guides me and she will never go away,
She’s the best friend I’ll ever, ever know.

♥
God guard my angel’s footsteps. She’s done her job so well.
She gives to me more love that I can hold.
My “Mama” is my angel whose footsteps followed me,
She has a loving heart of purest gold.

♥
Thank you, Mom, for giving me all your warmth and love,
You gave me so much joy that I recall.
A guiding eye that watched me and kept my in your care,
Your angel footsteps brought me through it all.

♥ ♥
