The One Who Waits for Me written by: Joy Hays (Mommy)
We had a little angel. She wasn’t ours for long. She’s up in Heaven now, running, playing and singing songs and so my little Angel this is written just for you to let you know how much your Dad and I miss you. When I look up to the sky on a very starry night, the tiniest star I see is our angel shining bright. I never got to tuck you in and hear your bedtime prayers, or read to you the story “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”. I never got to kiss your face or hold your little hand. Why God took our little Angel, we try to understand. This year on Christmas Eve we’ll hang an ornament on the tree. It will be a little angel like the one who waits for me. When I die and go to Heaven the first thing I want to see is my darling little Angel’s arms reaching out to me. Love, Mommy
