Little Angel in Heaven
This page is made in memory of
little Andri Mocke who moved
on to be with Jesus on 22 May 1999
Dear God,
You sent a child to me,
To fill my life with joy,
And only You knew which was best -
A little girl or boy.
Somehow I took for granted, Lord,
That we would have a lifetime,
And I made so many future plans
For this precious child of mine.
Enchanted by this miracle,
Caught up in each new day,
I guess I didn't hear You, Lord,
When You said, "This one can't stay."
I trust You, Lord. Thy will; not mine,
Yet I can't understand
This sudden loss - the emptiness -
Caused by another's hand.
I know my child's an angel now
But my heart is aching so.
I'm sorry I wasn't ready, Lord,
To let my little boy go.
There wasn't time for one last hug;
There was no final kiss.
Oh God, it's all those special smiles
That I really miss.
So, Lord, could you do just one thing
For me especially?
Please hold my angel close to You
And say goodbye for me.
