A Little Angel

A little angel came to Earth one day.
but he didn't come here to stay.
Three years was his time limit. His 
parents did not know it then, but 
God for him, had a plan.

The day he was born, to everyone he 
brought joy. His parents loved him from 
the start. Manuel Zachary was his name.
He grew up pretty quick.

While he was here, he spread smiles, love
and star dust everywhere. His family loved
him very much. He was their little Angel 
from above.

Three years he was here to spread his love
and joy. One day he heard a call. It was God
calling him home. His parents couldn't 
understand - why with them - he couldn't stay.

Now he is back where he belongs and from
there he watches over them. Every now and 
than he gives them a sign. He spreads some
star dust, to let them know that he is still
around...

Poet Destroyer A August 15, 2012 at 10:25 PM Lucilla, this brought tears to my eyes. I know i don't think much of God, and why he has special plans for some angles. When I was young I had an angle myself. I can not accept the thought God calling her home. I don't think much of it...oh! well...i better let you go..I'm getting all teary eyed...This is very beautiful, Zachary is still in your hearts.. God bless...thank you for your nice comment... xox~PD

Sara Kendrick August 15, 2012 at 2:23 PM This is a very emotive work that you have penned ...I think that it helps to write about the loss of a child even though we know they have gone on to a home in heaven..Thanks for stopping by..Sara
