The birth of an Angel

The Birth of an Angel

On the day that God spoke softly

the angels gathered near

He opened up his gentle hand

and shed a joyous tear

The tear became her little heart

a joy within her soul

and then a kiss upon her cheek

or so the story's told

Would turn into a warm sweet smile

as all of Heaven sighs

A drop of sunlight for her hair

and stardust for her eyes

She would be his special girl

and like no other one

He'd watch her every second now

until her life was done

On those days when sadness came

and in her heart would burn

like a father carry her

until the smile returned

A soft and gentle hug she gave

and then she skipped away

so full of life without a care

and born this special day

Through the sky from cloud to cloud

with snowflakes in her hair

on the way to her new life

for mom and dad to share
