"I'll Be Missing You"

Do Angels Know?

Standing by my baby's grave,
here on Christmas Eve
While other families, are rejoicing,
I can only grieve.

Tomorrow, it will be a year,
since she's gone away.
My eighteen month old daughter,
passed away on Christmas Day.

So, while the world rejoices, for a Christ child,
that was born.
Happiness, eludes me, for it is my time to mourn.

I think of other mothers, with their babies at their breast.
But, empty are my arms tonight, my baby's laid to rest.

I know there must be other mothers,
who have felt this pain.
And, wonder how, they kept from going, totally insane.

I thought about the Virgin's child, so many years gone by.
The first time that She held Him,
She knew, He was born to die.

She was a special lady, so, the Christmas story reads.
But, she had angels, sent from God,
that helped to soothe Her needs.

I stand alone, beside this grave, in the Christmas snow.
This pain I suffer, by myself, no one will ever know.

The hour's growing late now,
soon it will be Christmas Day.
I turn to go, and quietly, I hear a soft voice say.

"You're not alone, the Angels know,
your pain and why you grieve.
But, be content, she's safely in our arms,
this Christmas Eve."
