*Angel Friends*

A beautiful little angel
showed up to Heaven's gates
Confused and unknowing
the plan that for him awaits.

Then another little angel
walked up and took his hand
and said, "Please don't be sad you left,
you're in the Promised Land."

"I'm glad to be here but
I do not think I was to go,
Perhaps there was a mistake,
for my mommy wanted me so."

The little greeting angel
gave a sweet smile and said,
"My mommy wanted me too,
but to Heaven I was led.

You see, we do not get to choose
when on Earth it's time to go.
He gave us life, love and joy
and a mother's womb to grow.

The Lord still needs new angels
to guide them down on earth.
To watch over, comfort them,
and help them see their worth."

"Is there still a way
that I can sleep in my mommy's bed?"
The greeting angel grinned and said,
"that luxury you'll keep.
I visit my mommy nightly
and softly sing her to sleep."

The little angel replied,
"then I think I'll like it here.
I'll visit my mommy nightly
and weaken her pain and fears.
I love her and will keep her
safe at night and in between,
And let her know
with a sweet memory
that she is still with me."

The greeting angel gave her new friend
a big hug and said,
"Until our mommy's meet us here,
let's be best angel friends."

"Okay," said the new angel,
"that sounds good to me."

Then the angels sat and played
keeping their mommy's in sight,
Humming the tunes to the song
they would sing to their mommy's tonight.
