For such a little while;

He put a bit of heaven

In the sunshine of her smile.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

He took dust from

The brightest twinkling stars

And made her sparkling eyes;

And now, she's gone back home to God,

To play up in the skies.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

And though she left so quickly

That your hearts are grieved and sad,

We know she lives with God

And her small heart is glad.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

And though your precious darling

Was just a rosebud small;

She'll bloom in all her beauty
