~*Heaven's Tears*~

Snowflakes drifting softly down.

Touching, melting, swirling 'round

Spring descending in it's path.

Rosebuds belying it's snowy bath.

My angel lies beneath the sod.

My spirit reaching up to God.

Crying tears, a mothers pain

to never hold my child again

Tears of angels fall so white.

Falling softly through the night.

Snowy blanket to cover ground.

Touching gently without sound.

Roses growing tall and brave.

Planted there to guard his grave.

Birds singing softly now,

sitting on snow covered bow

Again in spring the snow does fall.

I kneel beside the rose bush tall.

The tiny buds cold with fear

as on that day we laid him here.
