Standing By the Angel's Grave
when you stand by your baby's grave and the breeze flows through your hair,
that’s your angel playing with other kids that are there,
she whispers in the wind you only have to listen,
for she is not sad,
she dances around your legs and sings,
coz now she has wings,
she stops only for a while,
to look at the tears you have shed,
she whispers in the wind,
mummy and daddy,
the tears you shed will soon disappear,
the pain you feel will slowly ease away,
for I am the quiver in your lip when your heart breaks,
and I'm the tears that sit apron your cheeks,
for I am with you,
I am in your heart and when it skips a beat that's me giving it a squeeze,
for you will never forget me,
then she turns and starts to walk away and she hears her mummy say,
you are everywhere I go,
you are the breeze in the trees,
a snow drop on my knee,
you're the rain that’s falls on my head,
you're the sun that’s rises and sets,
you're the night,
and maybe the moon,
but most of all you was my baby that was taken to soon.
she comes back quickly and looks up at her mum who was looking down,
she believes that her mummy see her standing and makes eye contact when she frowned,
then daddy starts to say, my sweet angel,
my heart is broken and I miss you dearly,
just remember I love you sweetie,
so go dance with the angels up above,
bounce on the clouds and sleep on the stars,
be my strength that gets me through my days,
for your in my heart and thats where you will stay,
her eyes filled with tears and then she replied,
daddy you will always have me with you,
for I have left my footprints on your heart,
I will do has you said bounce on the cloud and sleep on the stars,
the little angel moves in close and pulled at her parents hands,
she pulls them together so their holding hands,
her parents pulled each other into their arms and cries then and only then she turns starts to walk away opens her angel wings and fly’s away R.I.P
