He took you quickly from this place
where I could touch your pretty face.

and hold your hand that always signed
I love you mommy all the time

Where your big sister could put your head
and kiss your head - then off to bed

But if you would have stayed with me
you'd never climb an apple tree

You'd never hear the blue jays sing
or walk a sandy beach at dawn

Or dance in shadows in the sun
my tiny precious little one

You'd never be free from pain
to splash in puddles in the rain

So fly to heaven my special child
and you'll be greeted with a smile

Great Grandma has been waiting there
to rock you in her rocking chair

She'll hold you closely in her arms
and keep you always safe from harm

Time heals all wounds they say
I close my eyes and kneel to pray

But it seems to me that time has stopped
like the hands on Daddy's watch

When you left for better things
and flew away on Angel Wings
