Although there is a chill tonight,
my soul will keep you warm.
Like a blanket thats been quilted
for my little angel just born.
Sometimes the heavens get to anxious
and prepare a little set of wings;
so bright they can be seen tonight
under the velvet sky of dreams.
Listen to me my little angel.
When the moment breaks my heart
and your wings wave good-bye,
know that our fingers will never part.
My world you will have left
spinning like a coin on the ground.
The value blurred until stopped and
I'll lose those tears that I've found.
You are my little angel to be
and tonight will always be ours.
So be where your body sleeps,
I too will lie as flowers.
In the morning you will arrive
and only remember the arms of me,
but I shall carry you on forever
as my brave little angel to be.
Author's Notes/Comments:
Once upon a time a woman stood in the middle of the quietest room in the world and held her baby for the first time, though it was to be her last. The mother had to make a decision on whether it was right to let her child suffer anymore. The doctors were given the mothers sign to unplug her from life support. So as she picked Serenity up, she knew her baby was dying. What ever was said behind those closed doors to her little angel to be had lasted only five minutes and most likely there was a promise that will be kept for all time(My Little Angel To Be). You are the most courageous person that I know. The pain you felt in your heart as you watched her slip away must have been to great for your body to handle. I couldn't imagine the Lord wanting anybody else to hold his little angel to be while she experienced first hand why life was so very important. She spent a lifetime in your arms and never missed a thing beyond them. Mother, although I've grown to never expect anything less from you, you always manage to surprise me with another lesson of love!
