My Angel, My Only

Speak softly and swiftly, my dearest friend.
I fear my time on earth is nearing the end
We have seen each other through times so hard
remember that time, you sent me that card?

My mistress, my friend, you are so kind.
I was sitting in my cage, I thought no one would find.
Then you came along, with your bright eyes searching,
when you first went past, my heart went lurching

You came back, after a while,
and pointed to my cage with a smile.

That day you took me home, so many years gone past,
Now I will be in peace, at last.
I will be waiting for you on the other side,
By the doors, the pearly gates, a little lonely,
My angel, my only
