Today We Buried An Angel.
For Elaine and Mahmut with much love
Today we buried an angel
with a heart so pure and white,
born only yesterday
but to weak, to fight the fight.
Today we buried an angel
to sit at the right hand of god,
to look down on us forever
no flowers placed on his plot.
Today we buried an angel
little white coffin we did see,
cradled in the arms of his daddy
for everyone to grieve.
Today we buried an angel
and all hearts are dark,
his mother, totally devastated
never to walk in the park.
Today we buried an angel
who forever sits and waits,
the arrival of his loved ones
at those heavenly pearly gates.
Today we buried an angel
who everyone will miss,
never to be cradled
never to be kissed.
So grieve as our sister may,
you know deep inside,
that if ever you need to cry
I will be forever, at your side
When it is your time to go
those pearly gates will open,
and the child who comes running
will be always there for you to know
That bright star in the sky
that shines so bright at night,
open your heart forever
be guided by the light.
Because today we buried an angel
with a heart so pure and white,
never to be forgotten
nestling in Gods shiny white.
