A downy white blanket covered the ground
As fresh snowflakes quietly fell,
The flowers in baskets brought color,
But through the tears it was hard to tell.
Standing at the gravesite
Braving the damp, bitter cold,
Saying farewell to our dear friend,
Embracing all we'd been told.
You are now standing with our Father,
A glorious angel in white,
So happy in your loving new home,
No longer facing a fight....
You were loved by all whose lives you touched,
And you'll be missed in so many ways,
The children, adults, family and friends,
Will never forget how you brightened their days.
There's a new star in Heaven this evening
Tonight it's the brightest we'll see,
And though tears are welling in our eyes,
With wings spread, you are now flying free.
I'm sure the angel's were singing
As they welcomed you into their fold,
And God's love is now embracing you,
As you have taken His hand to hold.
You've gotten your gossamer feathers,
A golden halo adorning your head,
Violets cushion your every step,
Down the path that you are now led.
Whispers of gentle music,
As you soar through Heaven's sky,
Another beautiful angel,
Safe under God's watchful eye.
