I look up at the stars in the sky, I see the Angel that stands

by my side. Protect me from harm and keep me strong. I

whisper the words I love you and keep holding on.

I touch the earth that brings me life. I treasure dearly all the

precious times. Priceless they are to me. I know the time has

come I must set you free.

I dream a wonderful dream of love. I don't want to lose him

but I know I have. Let him understand that I love him so and

in my heart I will never let him go.

I touch the water by the sand. I feel him kiss my hand. I pray

another prayer before I sleep. Then I close my eyes and begin

to weep. Now we must let go of each others hands and leave behind

different footprints in the sand.
