< i> As beautiful angels wings were
flying over the streets of gold,
the baby angels could only
watch since they weren't very old.
Then one day God stopped to
talk to a little one without wings,
He said, "your day will come soon
and all the angels will sing".
Confused yet excited the little
one said to the Lord,
"But I'm different from the others
God and not a miracle to behold".
"Oh, but yes you are," He said
with a hug and smile on his face.
"You're the greatest gift I can give
and a loving home you will grace".
You mean, tho I'm different and
will never be beautiful or smart
Someone will want me and give
me a place in their heart?"
"Gee God.....that person must be
special to be glad to have me,
Cause most folks would frown
and upset they would be."
God said, "your little heart was
filled with more love than most.
Cause I knew this family would
love you and hold you real close.
So go my little angel and take
the greatest gift I can bestow.
Your that "special" angel few
people have the honor to know."
