Tiny Angel rest your wings
Sit with me for a while.
How I long to hold your hand,
And see your tender smile.
Tiny Angel, look at me,
I want this image clear...
That i will forget your precious face
Is my biggest fear.
Tiny Angel can you tell me,
Why have you gone away?
You werent here for very long...
Why is it, you couldnt stay?
Tiny Angel shook his head,
"These things I do not know...
But I do know that you love me,
And that I love you so."
*Mommy & Daddy's lil' Angel*
I thought of you and closed my eyes
And prayed to God today
I asked "what makes a mother?"
And I know I heard him say.
"A mother has a baby"
This we know is true
"But God can you be a mother,
When your baby's not with you?"
"Yes, you can," He replied
With confidence in His voice
"I give many women babies,
When they leave is not their choice.
Some I send for a lifetime,
And others for the day.
And some I send to feel your womb,
But theres no need to stay."
"I just dont understand this God
I want my baby to be here."
He took a deep breath and cleared His throat,
And then I saw the tear.
"I wish I could show you,
What your child is doing today.
If you could see your child's smile,
With all the other children and say...
"We go to Earth to learn our lessons,
Of love and life and fear.
My mommy loved me oh so much,
I got to come straight here.
I feel so lucky to have a mom,
Who had so much love for me.
I learned my lessons very quickly,
My mommy set me free.
I miss my mommy oh so much,
But i visit her every day.
When she goes to sleep,
On her pillows where I lay
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek,
And whisper in her ear.
Mommy dont be sad today,
Im your baby and Im here."
"So you see sweet ones,
your children are okay.
Your babies are born here in My home,
And this is where they'll stay.
They'll wait for you with Me,
Until your lessons through.
And on the day that you come home
they'll be at the gates for you.
So now you see what makes a mother,
Its the feeling in your heart
Its the love you had so much of
Right from the very start
Though some on earth may not realize,
You are a mother,
Until their time is done.
They'll be up here with Me one day
and know that you are the best one!"
Hi daddy , its me,
Your baby boy in the sky.
Wont you tell me daddy,
Why does mommy cry?
Doesnt she know that i am happy here?
Heavens a beautiful place.
Oh, how it hurts me daddy
To see tears streaming down mommys face.
Daddy, tell her Im much better here,
Jesus fixed my heart.
But when I see mommy crying,
It just about tears it apart.
I know it hurt you both, daddy,
When Jesus took me away.
But you and mommy remember,
We'll be together again someday.
I cant wait to hug you,
I never got the chance before.
When its time for you to come,
I'll be waiting at Heaven's door.
Then you'll both understand,
Jesus knew where I needed to be.
What a marvelous place to live,
Just wait and you both will see.
Please let mommy know, daddy,
That I heard every word she said.
And I remember her softly touching me
As I lay in that hospital bed.
Just one more thing, daddy,
Before I have to go
I love you both very much
And I just wanted you to know.
