Tiny Angel in the Room

Tiny Angel in the Room ©️ 2001 TXu1-162-978 by Joseph Johnson for Ro-Ro from Seeds and Weeds Originally titled "Hugs of an Angel" Oh tiny angel, too young to understand The miracle you have blessed me with My guardian spirit resides within you To have changed me so, so deeply under my skin You swam through the ocean of my soul Touched my heart with kindness, unconditionally attached Taught me that hatred requires you be treated as less But I could not do that to you, to one harmless and helpless I could have been just like all the rest, yet you reached into my heart helped me see through the prejudice crippling my soul And all the souls who surrounded you never understood There was an angel in the room, an elephant of good So much love trapped inside, behind your speechless lips Still you sang the language that only angels know Somehow I knew every heavenly syllable your tongue silently told And freed me from the prison of fear and greed and pride In this life we may never again embrace in hugs two hearts can feel But one day we will meet in Heaven because now I know the way
