She Sings Like An Angel


                                                  She sings like an angel
                                                  old songs and new
                                                  pretty brown hair
                                                  and eyes of blue

                                                  She sings like an angel
                                                  with an angel's voice
                                                  Make Me A Blessing
                                                  God surely does rejoice

                                                  She sings like an angel
                                                  with beauty and grace
                                                  There Is A Fountain
                                                  a beautiful, cleansing place

                                                  She sings like an angel
                                                  Love Lifted Me
                                                  she's free from sin
                                                  God holds the key

                                                  She sings like an angel
                                                  with a shining halo
                                                  The Old Rugged Cross
                                                   how she loves it so

                                                  She sings like an angel
                                                  In The Sweet By And By
                                                  through out the ages
                                                  and forever she'll fly

                                                  She sings like an angel
                                                  heaven's door is open wide
                                                  Ten Thousand Angels
                                                  join in with pride

                                                  She sings like an angel
                                                  with a message to share
                                                  I'll Meet You In The Morning
                                                  In Hallelujah Square

This one is for my beautiful grandaughter. The songs that I have put in this poem are just a few of the many songs that she sings. She sings in church , and she brings her song books with her when she comes to visit me. We have a grand old time singing, old songs from the past or new.
She loves to sing and when I listen to her voice and the beautiful music that comes out, it brings tears to my eyes. What a God-given talent. . I believe in my heart that God gave her this beautiful gift to share with the world, and That she surely does.. Thank you God for your many blessings  and especially my beautiful, talented grandaughter, Maria... Blessings, Susie

    This is truly a blessing for you. It's so wonderful that she sings these beautiful songs in church. I have a granddaughter with a lovely voice, but sadly, she doesn't sing in church.

    She is just precious Susie! What a beautiful young girl. I would love to hear her sing. Isn't it amazing when someone has such a talent at such a young age? There are few things more uplifting than seeing someone with a natural God-given gift like that. I'm sure she will remember these wonderful times singing together with you forever! Delisa :)

    Susie,
    Your granddaugter, Maria, is a beautiful young lady. I'm so proud of her singing the good old-time hymns in church. She's a very talented person and I sure hope and pray she will always use her gifts to glorify God and be a blessing to many people.
