Angel Standing By...

By Karen-Ashley Murray

I gaze outside my window
And wish upon a star.
I open up my heart
And let my thoughts drift afar.

A tear rolls down my cheek
As I reminisce the past.
You hardly got to live.
Your life went by so fast.

And all because someone else
Made a dumb mistake.
I don't understand why it was
Your life he had to take.

But now there's no way I can bring you back
No matter how hard I try.
Because now you're up in heaven
As my angel standing by.
