An Angel Walks On Earth

I wrote this years ago for my sister, who has downs syndrome. She recently went into the hospital with seizures and a shattered ankle. I am about to go visit her in a nursing home where she is being transferred to stay for a month while her ankle heals. She has never been in a nursing home before. I ask for your well wishes as she heals. Thank you.

Soft brown hair, shining eyes,

A smile that cures the deepest cries,

A heart that somehow knows the way,

A touch that says what words can't say,

All this is how I know it's true,

Some angels walk on Earth.

Her hands reach out when others don't,

When most friends turn away, she won't,

Her soul can somehow feel the time,

Will not submit to sin or crime,

All this is why my heart proclaims,

'Some angels walk on Earth.'

Her love never causes pain,

For her love does not play the game,

Only cares, Only gives,

Strengthening every heart to live.

With this how could the world not know,

How could it not hear in its soul,

The songs of truth her sweet words sing,

The bells of truth her actions ring,

With this how could the world not know,

Some angels walk on Earth,

When it can lift its eyes and see

Anna walk on Earth.
