THE SPECIAL ANGEL
One day God called together all the angels in the sky.
He said, "I have a mission that one of you must fly.
It's going to take a special angel with sweet and tender song.
The trip is quite important, tho it won't be very long.
Someone needs to know I love them, and that my love is true."
He turned to the smallest angel and said, "I'm sending you."
Then the smallest angel up in Heaven came down to live on earth.
The journey was accomplished through the miracle of birth.
She arrived very tiny and, boy, how she could cry.
But, during very quiet times there was a sparkle in her eye.
She set out to do her duty the first thing that day.
She began touching those around her in a very special way.
Each day she brought gentle beauty, innocence and love,
courage, caring, sharing, and peace sent only from above.
Then one day God said to her, "Your mission here is through.
It's time to come back home to Me, for Heaven needs you, too."
Thank you, God, for the little angel You allowed us to know
You didn't let us have her long, but we loved her so.
Even though some tears may fall, because we had to say good-bye,
We know she's in Your loving care, and the apple of Your eye.
