Have you met an angel before? Well, I have She's not the regular kind Quite unusual from the ones you know She has no wings Nor flaming sword Neither does she wear a halo Nor a dazzling white garment I know an angel One very unique of her kind Her skin glows caramel with melanin Her hair so woolly and beautifully coarse It defies gravity And her face adorned with weighty marks of aging I know an angel Sent from above Like a sunflower, She stands tall even in the darkest times And finds hope in hopelessness She radiates like a thousand rays of sunshine Her eyes burns with true love Her smile so soothing In her arms, I drown helplessly in the waters of peace So heavenly yet, so earthly I know an angel And when her time is up here, I'm rest assured that heavens finally found her They'll take her home and sing hallelujah I have an angel I call her Mum.
