She sat upon the kind Man’s lap,
In a gown of white and air.
She said, “Why must I stay up here,
While mommy cries down there?”
He said “I’ve called you back to Me,
This is where you dwell.”
She said, “I need to go back, please
My daddy’s not handling this well.”
He said “This is your home now, child,
It is here that you must stay.”
She said “ But brother prays each night
That I’ll come back to play.”
He said “My angel, are you not content,
Have I truly failed you there?’
She said, “My baby sister wants
To share her teddy bear.”
He said, “Down there you were a precious bud,
Up here is where you’ll bloom.
You were not meant for life on earth,
Outside your mother’s womb.”
“So as you now perch on your cloud,
they perch beside your grave,
and bow their heads in thanks and awe
for the lessons that you gave.”
She said, “I miss my family.”
He said, “I know it’s true.
But you and I will sit right here,
‘till they come home to you.”
