Newborn angel, please find rest
You have passed another test
Days are long and sometimes cold
Yet, your spirit remains bold
You are blessed with headstrong might–
This shall guide you through your fight
But, for now, please stop and sigh
One more day has become nigh.

Newborn angel, please find peace
Let your uphill battles cease
Drift across the skies of blue
If for just one hour or two
Dance with butterflies and bees
Should this put your mind at ease
Your brave heart, though very small
Is the toughest of them all.

Newborn angel, please have hope
You have found a way to cope
Though, your time has just begun
Your soul shines, just like the sun
While more grief could come your way
You have won the bout, today
So, slumber where your dreams shall roam
Until the day you can come home.
