Angels for Kids…

When a child does die,

Admittedly a terrible thing,

But one that is part of living,

That of being human, giving,

Our children back to god…

When they arrive back in heaven,

they are given wings immediately,

So that they can go back to earth,

And become an angel for another kid,

Or they exchange with another angel,

And become that of an angel for a brother or sister…

In this way, they are always there, sitting on a shoulder,

Of a sister or brother and keeping them fair,

They are with them for ever an always, as they care,

For the brother or sister they feel responsible for…

How do I know this?

I have one of my own,

He died at 12, and became my angel,

Too smart he was to stay in heaven,

As he would have become eventually

The one and only archangel…
