How was it up there in heaven today?
What did you get to do?
Did you walk on the streets of gold
as Jesus walked along side of you?
Did you get to sing with the angels today
or just sit on the sidelines and listen?
Did you put a smile on the Father's face
when He saw your eyes glisten?
Did you sit on the river banks of Jordan
and hear the stories Noah had to tell?
Oh it must have been something to hear
how the animals got along so well.
Did you go talk to the King David?
And ask him about that giant?
Did you sit with Moses and hear
how the children of Israel were defiant?
Did you sit with the Mother of Jesus?
Did she kiss your precious cheek?
Did she wrap her arms around you
and your name... softly speak?
Did you play in the Garden of Eden
while the Angels watched you?
Oh did you spend the day sending love
as only you can do?
Did you walk with St. Peter today
and stand close at his feet?
and be the one to say welcome saints
and smile at those you'd greet?
How was it up there in Heaven today?
I can imagine what beauty you see.
But, all the while you are missed down here. And, oh I know you will always be.
And, although you are with the Father in Heaven, We still miss the love in your eyes.
And at night when the whole world is sleeping, your family just lays awake and cries.
Now you just had your first birthday.
I guess you already knew this.
Was there a great celebration in Heaven?
Did you get your Mom's birthday kiss?
I guess I will ask this one last question..
To the little Angel who soars through the air,
When it's my turn to go to Heaven,
Will you be the one to meet me there?
