For Connie and Aunt Pam / Carrie Clemente (cousin)
About Arms Length
When all around you is looking grim
And your aching comes from deep within
Nobody knows the pain you bare
when your dreams are shattered, and you’re in despair
But right behind you, about arm’s length
Is your guardian angel to give you strength
And about this time, he moves closer to you
Placing an arm around your shoulder to help you through
Although you can’t see him, his presence is known
It’s that feeling, that now you’re not alone
Your spirits lift, way up on high
And soon you feel like your able to fly
What happened to make you feel like this
A hand on your shoulder, a gentle kiss
Your angel steps back, he’s now at arms length
He’s done his job, he’s given you STRENGTH!
