When I see
the gentle rain,
fall over
the land I live and breathe,
I'll know
its not tears of sadness, you shed,
but hope
eternal and love, you are sharing with me.
When I see
the stars shinning overhead,
I'll reminisce
that gleam in your eyes,
that you
do watch and guide with your love,
that only
your gentle heart could provide.
When I feel
the sun warming my face,
I'll think
of all the brightened days.
The days
you gave so much happiness to all.
Those loving
memories of an angel, I'll recall.
When I hear
the thunder crashing,
I'll remember
the laughter and all the smiles,
of one
small boy who was,
such an
angel on earth,
now running
and laughing down heaven's aisles.
For I know
heaven must have seen your heart,
so pure,
so full of life and joy.
That's
why you left all you loved,
to prepare
a welcomed home in heaven,
when its
our turn, to finally arrive.
Perhaps
heaven must have needed another angel,
to guide,
protect and love from above.
So fly
away my angel to await our turn,
when we
will meet again, my love!

little boy. A battle with such bravery he fought with
cancer. My heart goes out to them in their loss. I have
