I look at your perfect little ears and I hear the songs of angels in the sky
I look at your mouth and hear unspoken words about babies that die
I look at your closed eyes and think about a world that is blind
I look at your little nose and I smell sweet baby smells in my mind
I turn, take a deep breath and gently touch your beautiful face
And know deep within my heart of hearts, by God’s amazing grace
That you are already hopping and skipping and singing up above
And every second of your beautiful existence is filled with God’s pure love
Fly away little angel, fly away and laugh and sing
Fly away from all the tears and heartache that earth and gravity bring
Fly away precious angel don’t you ever look back
Fly away sweet child, in nothing will you ever lack
I turn slowly, swallow my tears and walk out of the door
And know to the depth of my being, to my very core
That with little skill, astounding grace and lots of love
Lives are changed and touched by giving all I have
