Tiny Angel

 

Our tiny little angel,

You had time to say hello,

When the Lord called you home again,

He couldn't let you go.

We prayed with all our hearts,

"Dear God, please let him stay",

"Angels are not of this world",

Is what we heard him say.

Your mother's heart was breaking,

Your daddy was crying too,

We didn't want to let you go,

But the Lord, he needed you.

Darling child of heaven,

Until we meet one day,

Wait for us at heaven's gate,

And you will hear us say:

"We had set aside a place for you,

A place deep in the heart,

A place within this family,

Of which you are a part,

Now we have come to hold you,

And to let you know,

Our darling child, our heavenly child,

We would have loved you so,"

But angels are not of this world,

We think we always knew,

That God so loved our angel child,

In heaven, he needed you".

 

Dedicated to Alison and Paul,

In Loving Remembrance,

of their baby son,

Kristian Paul.
