Today

Today we buried my angel In her Sunday dress Eyes and hearts fell She now lies in Earth's caress Her stolen tomorrow Sprouts wings of glory We celebrate without sorrow A short yet beautiful life story She heard the Heavens call Bravely accepting the request "Death makes angels of us all" The words of her last breath Today we buried my angel In the bosom of the land A smile lights the chapel She now holds her mother's hand
