I was given an angel,
To cherish and love,
So tiny, so perfect,
A gift from above.
When I looked at his face
It was calmness I found,
And that peace seemed to spread
To all he was around.
His love touched my heart
Like fine threads of spun gold,
And I'd thank God for giving
This angel to hold.
But I did not know then
That time was my foe,
And too soon, with a whisper,
My angel did go.
My heart almost breaking,
A touch soft as lace
Seemed to wipe at the hurt
As it coursed down my face.
I still have my angel
To cherish and love,
From Heaven above.
And though I can't see him
Or cuddle him tight,
I won't say goodbye,
Little Angel, goodnight.
MIMI LOVES YOU!!!!
