Ronald Doku - Little Angel

Touching a cheek so soft and tender
A feeling of boundless joy captures me
My little sister is staring at me
And my heart is filled with warmth

Out of her sleep, and straight to me
Tears flow down her cheeks
Only her brother's voice can clear
'Don't cry, Ellie, big brother will always be here'

With a smile so genuine
And a face so innocent
She stares at me
With those little eyes that could make me pluck stars out of the sky

My heart is glad, and my soul rejoices
I found my peace in the eyes of my sister
With a face so beautiful
I could swear she surpassed the beauty of angels

Out of my arms, she ran to play
So hard to imagine she would ever grow up and leave me
Call me selfish but what can I say
My little sister loves me and I love her too
