Though God brought us together
For a moment or two
My angel, now and always
You were a wish come true
You were the life within me
My joy, my breath, my hope
Without you, I am hollow
I now struggle to cope
The windy days fall silent
Our legacy seems lost
The teardrops never-ending
Express death’s bitter cost
At night, sometimes, I hold you
If only in my dreams
My little boy so precious
Now resting with moonbeams
Your time on earth was tragic
Your seconds were too few
Yet, you’ve changed my life forever
In ways you never knew
You taught me to be humble
You showed me how to smile
You gave me something priceless
Love that crosses each mile
You left this world so early
Though, I respect God’s plan
Some angels are too brilliant
To live with mortal man
You had your father’s cheekbones
And my pure heart of gold
My angel, now and always
My soul shall remain cold
Quite often I had spoken
Of how today should be
Our first meeting so special
Just you, daddy, and me
But, God saw something in you
Something wondrous and rare
Henceforth, He soon decided
You were more needed there
Today is marred by sorrow
By dreams that cannot be
But, I know some tomorrow
You will rest near to me
One day we’ll be united
A mother and her son
Within the gates of Heaven
Where our love was begun
Though God brought us together
For one moment on earth
My angel, you are with me
You’ve given my life worth
My soul may now be hollow
My tears may never dry
But, of this much I’m certain
I’m your mom ‘til I die
This was to be your birthdate
The day when dreams began
A time for celebration
Now lost amid God’s plan
Please know how much I love you
Though we are far apart
Sweet dreams, my angel baby
You’ll always hold my heart
