Angels’ Arms

Today as I lay you

In the arms of the angels

Who have come from heaven

To carry you safely to God,

I try to stay strong

And I try to understand,

Why my precious little child

Has to leave me this way.

Today as I lay you

Into the protection and love

That comes in God’s arms,

I feel my heart breaking.

I know that you are happy

Not afraid or in pain.

But I long to hold you

And see your precious face.

Today as I lay you

In the arms of the angels

I know I will see you again.

I pray for the strength

To make it through the days

To not give up on life

For the sake of those

Still with me here on Earth.

Precious child may your smile

Brighten the heavens above.

May your love shine down here

Bathing us in it’s warmth.

Knowing you are happy

Knowing you are safe

Makes it only a bit easier

To lay you in the angels’ arms.
