One Small Angel

ONE SMALL ANGEL

A glimmer, a breath, a heartbeat in time.

Enough though , to allow a miracle to shine.

A tiny being who managed to touch each of our hearts.

One small angel, sent from above.

Did she know that she brought us together,

Forgetting our differences for a time?

A group of voices all praying, heard as one;

Did she watch from afar as we cried?

She had carried with her a gift from beyond,

          A message to all from above;

Make the most of your life, the most of your time,

Sooth the hearts of those that need love.

One small angel came to us, sharing her song ,

Never forget the moment that we acted as one.

Now stop for a moment, close your eyes and be still;

You might hear her sweet whisper, you might feel her still.
