An angel came but he wasn't to stay
How broken were our hearts that day
So deeply loved but needed in heaven above
Our souls were crushed
He was gone all too soon

So perfect in every way
All too soon was he taken away
Too good for this world
He was needed elsewhere
The sorrow and grief
Was just too much to bear

Why him? we would ask
And receive no reply
As a tear trickled down
From the corner of my eye
A life cut so short
We could not understand
We wouldn't see him grow
Into a handsome young man
Life can be so unfair
Too easily we forget
Just one precious chance
Is all that we get

An angel without wings
Not a day this life brings
When we don't feel that you're near
And we wish you were here
It just wasn't to be
Although we just couldn't see
Why such a tragedy came to be?

Sleep peacefully beautiful angel..............
