Occasionally, we are graced
with the presence of an earth
bound angel. They are unable
to stay with us for long, but
while they do, they bring
unprecedented joy and
happiness to all they touch.
While they are here, we bask
in their goodness and marvel at
their contribution to the world.
When they leave, we are left
with the devastation that comes
with losing such a wonderful being.
But we must remember...the earth
bound angels are not ours to keep.
They are ours to enjoy, learn from,
and behold until they return home.

Sometimes at night, I look up at the the sky
and I can see your eyes in the stars
and I can feel your magic touch.....
Let us remember that death is not the end, but the beginning.
As the sun sets in our world,
the sun is just rising for others.
I hold you in my arms right now.
I can't believe it's true,
I never thought I'd see the day,
that I'd be losing you.
I hope with all my heart that when
you look into my face,
you know I would give anything
if I could take your place.
I look into your eyes right now,
and wipe away a tear.
The pain will soon be gone for good.
The final moment's near.
So close your eyes and hold my hand,
and dream of what will be
when heaven's gates are opening
And Jesus' face you see.
And though you'll soon be gone,
I know one day I'll see
your smiling face again
looking down at me.
And I promise you that I will not
forget the way you smile.
I promise that I will remember you.
And if someone can hold a place
deep within my heart,
I promise that it will be...
Promise that it will be you
