Angels

After making his new angels
God looked down from above
He happened to notice you
And all he saw was love

He said to the angels
"I need to send you there,
There is where you'll be loved
Where you will feel the most care"

So God sent you these angels
To nuture, love and grow
But not angels you could keep
For it would soon be time to go

You taught these angels wonderful things
That only a mother could do
Your angels learnt compassion and warmth
Whilst living inside of you

These angels were ones that would have to leave
Ones you'd never hold
Ones you'd mourn for the rest of your life
If the truth be told

God realised you'd miss these angels
And so he gave you tears
A way to express your love
Over the coming years

Then God called these angels home
And asked what the angels had learned
The angels said a love so strong
In a mothers heart had burned

"We learnt that love can exist
Even when we've gone
For love never dies you see
We've learnt it carries on"

God looked at the angels
Smiled and gave a sigh
"You have learnt a valuable lesson
That often passes people by"

The angels looked at God and asked
"Why is my mummy so sad?"
God answered "when I called you home
It made her miss what she had;

But soon she will realise
I sent her a special gift
I sent her you my child
Although I took you swift

Her love for you will never wain
You will remain ever in her heart
You will be in her thoughts and feelings
Like you've never been apart"

The angels asked God what this mummy did
To deserve such a wonderful thing
"Your mummy is so pure of heart
she makes the angels want to sing"

The angels thanked God
For giving them such a lovely mum
So you see in loving your angels
Your work is truly done

God didn't wish to punish you
He only showed you love
He gave you special angels
A gift from heaven above

He knows only a special person
Can be an angel mum
He made us in his image
He lost his only son

He know's just how your heart aches
And wished that wasn't so
But your angels are so happy
In God's heavenly home

So when you think of your angels
Please just smile, don't weep
Be proud that God chose you
To love angels so sweet

When your heart feels empty
Your life so full of despair
Remember God picked you!
Because no-one else compares xxxxxxxx
