HEAVEN SENT

BROUGHT INTO THIS WORLD SO FRAIL
A BABY HAS BEGUN HER TALE
AMONG THE ANGELS SHE DID TROD
UNTIL THE EARTH BELOW DID CALL

TO A MOTHERS ARMS SHE WENT
THE MOTHER KNOWS SHE'S HEAVEN SENT
IN HER MOHTERS EYES SHE'LL SEE
ALL THE LOVE SHE HOLDS FOR THEE

A SMILE UPON HER SMALL PINK FACE
SHE KNOWS SHE'S FOUND HER SPECIAL PLACE
SHE FALLS ASLEEP IN LOVING ARMS
SAFE FROM ALL THAT HURTS AND HARMS

SHE DREAMS OF HEAVEN UP ABOVE
SURROUNDED BY THE GREATEST LOVE
HELD BY GODS OWN HANDS SO TIGHT
KEEP HER SAFE THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT

AND WHEN TO HEAVEN SHE IS CALLED
AGAIN WITH ANGELS SHE WILL TROD
EMBRACE HER THEN WITH OPEN ARMS
AND ONCE AGAIN SHE'LL SEE NO HARM

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON THIS DAY
WE'RE ALL GATHERED HERE TO SAY
THAT WE LOVE YOU DEAR AND TRUE

GRANDPARENTS

GRANDPARENTS ARE FOR SPECIAL HUGS
LITTLE TICKLES ON THE RUG
HORSE BACK RIDES AROUND THE ROOM
RACING RACE CARS THAT GO ZOOM!

MAKING COOKIES WITH CHOCOLATE CHIPS
PLACING KISSES ON YOUR LIPS
PLAYING PIGGY ON YOUR FEET
BEING WITH THEM IS A TREAT

THEY HIDE QUARTERS BEHIND YOUR EARS
KEEP SOFT TISSUES FOR YOUR TEARS
LAUGH ALONG WITH ALL YOUR JOKES
TELL GREAT STORIES OF LONG AGO FOLKS

SO, IF YOU'RE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE
AS TRULY BLESSED AND LOVED LIKE ME
YOU'LL HAVE AN ANGEL SENT FROM ABOVE
CALLED A GRANDPARENT, MADE WITH LOVE

Flowers

Within the beauty of the flowers
May we all remember we have the power
To stand above the evil of this world
Because of our faith in the Lord

I have seen, that the greatest love
Came from above
And I am glad That we're all friends
For with that, even broken hearts can mend

Angels

Sometimes late at night
I see shadows dancing in the moonlight
I wonder what, or who they could be
And whether they're here to scare or comfort me

I've seen these shadows before
However, I thought it was an old folk lore
Can it be true, are they for real, What can they be?
Are they here to comfort me?

The shadows can sense that I am in fear
As I gently wipe away my tears
I still wonder what they can be
But at least I know they're here to comfort me

Finally I fall upon my knees
In hopes that they'll hear my pleas
"Please don't fear us, for we are angels from above"
"Sent to show you, you are loved"

We are special in Someones eyes
