Goodbye My Child

Rest my angle, lay down your head,
You do not sleep you have not fled,
I feel your essence in side my heart
a pain so great to be apart,
Memories are stolen yet still we have few,
i thought we had forever of me and you,
your smile still upon your face guiding you to your heavenly place,
you must now go, don't watch me weep,
For angels so dear we can not keep.

beautiful and makes me want to 'weep'.... for heavenly angels the lord should let us keep. if only to visit in our sleep. to love and to grow forever more. let angels then come back through his door. heavenly angels so pure without sin, let us hold them, for just a bit then. heavenly angels the look should let us keep. so that in our sleep, we dont have to weep. Peace. <3 Boo
