Angel

I miss your little body inside mine
Your life- it was a glow, a radiant light
Why must your heart have beat so short a time
I cannot have you back, try though I might

Where has your soul escaped to, angel child?
And why, so soon, did you run from this world?
Before your legs ran young and free and wild
Before I ever met my little girl

My child, I’ve lost your body, not your love
I feel it still when I am most alone
I sense my tiny angel up above
And thus, I know you’re never truly gone

Someday I know that I will come to you
So love, please just stay young until I do
