Angels in Heaven

~ by Tammy L. Tobac 1993 witten for the Compassionate Friends Holiday Candlelighting Ceremony 

ANGELS IN HEAVEN....

We have angels in heaven

Who look down on us here

while the world all around us says

"Be of good cheer!"

Everyone else is bustling about

We simply watch it go by,

yet we just want to shout~

Don't you know it's not merry

at this time of year,

when our lives feel so empty

and our eyes fill with tears.

We can't bear the thought of another holiday

without our precious loved one

who was taken away.

But your child's spirit does live on,

though their physical being may be gone.

Look around and you will see

their soul lives on in your memory.

You'll see your child's eyes so bright

In every twinkling Christmas light.

There are angels in heaven

Who look down on us here

And they are trying to tell us,

Don't worry we're near!

We love you and miss you,

we'll never be far...

Just look to the sky

and the bright Christmas star.

Take a special moment

throughout these blessed days

to remember me in the kindest of ways...

Give my smile to a person,

who needs it like you,

and my spirit will live on

through the things that you do.
