Little Angel...

The very day we met you,
We had to say good-bye.
We send you off to heaven
Where holy angels fly.

In our dreams we'll see you smile,
And there we will hear you talk.
Our home will echo with your laughter.
In our hearts you'll learn to walk.

You will be remembered
With each and every passing day,
Missed, loved, and adored
In every possible way.

For now God will carry you
Safely in his arms.
Loving you as we do,
Protecting you from harm.

One day we will join you
As we take our place in heaven.
God will hand you back to us --
Together once again.
