Surrounding you are angels,
They are there to guide your path.
If weakness overcomes you,
They'll give you strength if you will ask.

They are your protection
When life seems too hard to bear.
And though you feel alone at times,
The angels ... they are there.

Their faces may be hidden
And their voices you might not hear,
But they are ALWAYS with you,
Through your laughter or your tears.

They'll walk along beside you,
They'll guide your steps along the way.
They'll comfort you and hold you,
Protect you night and day.

They'll hold to your hand tightly,
They'll not ever let it go.
And they'll gently lead you forward,
Taking each step very slow.

For even as you slumber,
They watch closely over you.
They are there beside you
In each and every thing you do.

When life is overwhelming,
And your spirit has grown tired,
Know they'll be there for you,
To uplift and to inspire.

And when you're torn and lonely,
And you see no hope ahead,
Know that they will nourish you,
Your spirit will be fed.

And if there comes a time in life
That your heart has been broken,
Hear the words, "I'm here, my child,"
And know your angel has spoken.

For even in the darkest hour,
When all of hope seems gone,
They'll give you strength to live your life,
And desire to go on.

And if your faith in Heaven,
Should ever fade away,
They'll help renew your spirit,
And help you find your way.

Even though you're ever filled with doubt,
About the life you live,
Know that they are there to give you
All that they can give.

They'll help you in your times in need,
They'll wipe away your tears,
They'll show to you compassion,
They'll calm your raging fears.

They'll hold your hand and direct you,
Should you fall from your path.
They'll lift you up to steady you,
All you need do is ask.

For you see, the Father sent them,
Because to Him, you mean so much,
That He sent them "just for you," my friend,
And your life, they will touch.

For when you were within the womb,
The angels were selected,
To guide you through your lifetime,
To ensure you were protected.

They will always be here,
They will "never" leave your side.
And upon their strength and guidance,
You always may rely.

For even when the time comes
For you to say "goodbye,"
The angels will be with you,
They will lift you to the skies.

From the time you were conceived, my friend,
Until the time of death,
The angels, they are with you,
With each and every breath.

And nothing is too difficult for you,
My friend, to face,
For you have been presented with
A gift of our Lord's grace.

He has given unto you
A protector that is there,
To share your burdens with you,
With Heaven's utmost care.

And no one knows you better,
Than your angels know you, dear,
For every day that you have spent on earth,
They, too were here.

Take comfort in their guidance,
Draw strength from up above,
And know that their sweet presence,
Is God's precious gift of love.

Do not undermine your worth by
Comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different
That each of us is special.
Do not set your goals by what
Other people deem important.
Only you know what is best for you.

Do not take for granted the things
Closest to your heart.
Cling to them as you would your life,
for without them, life is meaningless.
Do not let your life slip through your fingers
By living in the past nor for the future.

By living your life one day at a time,
You live all the days of your life.
Do not give up when you
Still have something to give.
Nothing is really over until the
Moment you stop trying.
It is a fragile thread that
Binds us to each other.

Do not be afraid to encounter risks.
It is by taking chances
That we learn how to be brave.
Do not shut love out of your life by
Saying it is impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive
Love is to give love;
The fastest way to lose love
Is too hold it too tightly;

In addition, the best way to keep
Love is to give it wings.
Do not dismiss your dreams.
To be without dreams
Is to be without hope;
To be without hope
Is to be without purpose.

Do not run through life
So fast that you forget
Not only where you have been,
But also where you are going.
Life is not a race,
But a journey to be savored
Each step of the way.

We have one Angel standing watch
Above us as we sleep,
Another gathers up the hopes
And dreams we wish to keep.

One Angel is the tiny voice
That whispers in our ears,
With words of love and comfort
To conquer grief and fears.

Of course we have one Guardian,
One friendship keeper too,
Another just to help us mend
The thoughtless things we do.

We have a Guardian of Love
Who protects our destiny,
And helps us with our soulmate
Who with we were meant to be.

We have a host of Angels
That keep us company,
In order that we become
The best that we can be.
