Don'T Be Afraid

For several days her daughter would say The angels said, "Don't be afraid" Her mother simply dismissed it Like it was a childhood game she played But soon she started to worry For the little girl kept telling this tale She also said she talked to Jesus And she described it in such detail She told her mother that Jesus said Tomorrow, He's taking her home The little girl was only three years old These things, she couldn't have known Her mother was just a little concerned For each day it was always the same Was it just a little girl's imagination? She was sure it was a childhood game Well tomorrow came and all was fine And her daughter never uttered a sound So she fiiled up the pool, only eight inches deep And that's where, her little girl drowned Now, this story is true, every single word For it happened to some friends of mine This story took place many years ago And their grief grew more distant in time But I just couldn't imagine, the pain that they felt As they remember what their daughter would say The Angels would tell her, "Don't be afraid" And that Jesus would take her away
