My Guardian Angel
Her eyes were as sparkling prisms;
Of the bluest sea.
Her hair was of shimmering glisten;
Flowing gently free.
Her skin was of milky dewness;
So flawless, it be.
Her smile was of glorious radiance;
Of love, no one could flee.
Her gown was of whitened silk;
Flowing below her knee.
She be, my Guardian Angel;
Watching over me.
A celebration of life service will be held at a later date.
Friends may make memorials to the Perry County Humane Society and will be accepted at the funeral home.
