She had the heart of an angel
While on this earth…she dwelt
You could not help but love her
For everyone’s needs; she felt
She never knew a stranger
Her heart she shared…with everyone
She gave of her love and wisdom
If there was a need you knew she’d come
She treated all as her family
She tended to the old and the young
She comforted with her smile and talents
Of God’s gifts; she wasted none
Today would be her birthday
We wish she was with us to celebrate
But God has called her to His home
We know she waits for us at Heaven’s gate
Our angel will be remembered
We celebrate her life…her spirit…her song
We were blessed God shared her with us
Even though it did not seem very long
We will strive to imitate her
To show compassion, humility, and love
To comfort and care for those around us
Imagine her smile, as she watches from above
Angels now surround her
Comfort and love she now beholds
For all who read their Bible know…
You are promised to reap what you have sown
Written by TaVona Salaz Treadwell---dedicated to my Tia Betty., Who I will always see as an angel of mercy. We celebrate today; the day of her birth.
