At Play with the Angels

A carefree little boy skips
Along a golden street.
A puppy wags its tail as
It follows at his feet.

The sound of laughter draws him
On this eternal day.
He's on the path to Dove Park
Where  angels like to play.

When he gets there he enters
The gate so merrily.
With great delight he sees it
The tire swing on the tree.

A friendly, smiling angel say.
"Would you like to play?"
The little lad replies with,
"I'll play with you all day.

    
Far away in the mist he hears it
     Someone's crying.
     Clearer now, he can hear the sound of
     Faith that's dying.
     He listens to the broken sobs of
     Someone calling,
     Someone calling,
     Calling
      Him.


"Yes, here I am," he answers,
"Please, don't you cry for me.
I'm having fun in Dove Park;
The angels play with me.

I'm happy 'cause I know that
You'll be with me today.
There is no night in Dove Park
Where angels like to play."




    
Cody was a brave little 9-year-old boy  who lost his 18-month battle with cancer. He died at home with his family holding onto him. Cody's Dad had to tell him that he was going to die, and the little boy wanted to know if he would see his Mother, Father, and 12-year-old brother again. He was assured that he would. Cody's parents found this note in his room after he had passed away:
