I saw an Angel

I saw an angel today, oh what a vision to see.

This beautiful angel sent only to me.

My eyes filled with tears at this glorious sight,

This angel so lovely made my heart feel so light.

 

I held an angel today, in my hands it did rest

Surely it had to be one of God's best.

So soft, so tender, so fragile it seemed

To hold such an angel was more than I dreamed.

 

I kissed an angel today, I just couldn't resist

As I looked at this sweetie I felt so much bliss

My heart over poured with a feeling of love

For this sweet little creature sent from Heaven above.

 

I lost an angel today; I guess God had other plans

This precious little life slipped right through my hands

My heart felt so empty as tears fell from my eyes

I didn't have the chance to say my good byes.

 

I saw an angel today, one I'll never forget

Those short precious moments I'll never regret

He took something with him on his journey above

A piece of my heart to remember my love.
