Angel Undercover
One winter day heaven shined down at the right time.
God handed me a bundle of joy I could call mine
I knew right then and there I have been blessed.
With love and laughter along with all the rest
To be a normal mom is what I wanted you see.
However, it seemed it was just not meant to be.
Sometimes you’re dealt cards you don’t plan for.
You try to do you best even when you’re not sure.
It broke my heart to explain to my little girl why,
I could not be a part of the things she wanted to try.
One day we met a lady we were referred to.
Girl scouts is something she loved to do.
She opened the door to a whole new world.
Then walked hand in hand with my little girl.
There are many things to be discovered.
She has been right there all along to show her.
Guidance and love, manners, and hugs,
Are all a part of what she’s made of.
She has always been there with an open hand.
Saying let me help you if I can.
Angels are undercover I’ve always been told.
I found the truth when my little girl was six years old.
Sometimes you cannot always see them.
Ours we can, her name is Bessie Cleveland
