Vita Kuzheva My Angel, For Beloved Grandma

MY ANGEL, For Beloved Grandma

Your smile is like the sunlight’s tender glow
It warms my heart when winter winds will blow
Your lovely look for many years has been
A crown above me, circling over, seen

Your faithful hand has always stayed so true
It strokes, protects, and helps me make it through
And your kind, gentle face so dear to me
Stands in my eyes — and does not trouble me

You are a tender, loving angel bright
My guardian on this cursed earth at night
It seems to me by your own smiling grace
I owe my happiness — my saving place

You’re my Angel, my Angel
My Angel in blizzard and storm
You’re my Angel, my Angel
My gentle and loving warm guide

So often you forgot yourself, you did
To do what’s good for others, always lived
You covered up my soul like something warm
And guarded me from every daily storm

I know you always will be there to aid
You won’t betray, won’t leave, won’t seek to trade
You smile at strangers passing on the street
You simply cannot stop your love so sweet!

Thank you, my dear, for all your gentle care
You wrap me up in happiness and air
Like Cinderella, I believe in tales
And in that love that warms a home and stays

I know that now from heavens you still shine
Like the most beautiful and perfect star
And like before, you light this life of mine
So I can be a happy little girl

You’re my Angel, my Angel
My Angel in blizzard and storm
You’re my Angel, my Angel
My gentle and loving warm guide
