HEATHER'S ANGEL.....


THERE STANDS A CONCRETE ANGEL,
ON A SACRED PEACE OF GROUND.
IN HER HANDS SHE HOLDS A BIRD,
HER EYE'S ARE CAST DOWN.

I KNOW THAT SHE WILL BE STANDING HERE,
THROUGHOUT THE COMING YEARS.
I KNOW THAT SHE WILL SEE,
A THOUSAND FALLING TEARS.

SHE WATCH'S OVER MY BABY,
AS SHE LAYS IN PEACEFUL SLEEP,
SHE WATCH'S OVER HER FAMILY,
AS THEY COME, STAND AND WEEP.

WHEN I GO TO VISIT HEATHER,
I TELL THE ANGEL DON'T YOU SEE,
THE PRINCESS THAT LAY'S HERE,
MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME.

I TRUST THAT YOU WILL WATCH HER,
WITH YOUR ANGEL'S SPECIAL SIGHT,
AND LET HER KNOW WE LOVE HER,
EVERY MORNING, NOON AND NIGHT.

SHE LEFT US SO FAST,
I DID'NT HAVE A CHANCE TO PRAY.
CAUSE IF I DID, I WOULD HAVE BEGGED,
THE LORD TO LET HER STAY.

I NEED HER HERE WITH ME LORD,
HER DAUGHTER NEEDS HER TO.
CAN'T SHE STAY WITH US AWHILE,
AND THEN SHE'LL COME TO YOU.

I'M NOT READY FOR HER TO GO,
AND I DON'T WANT TO SAY GOOD-BYE,
IF YOU NEED SOMEONE TAKE ME LORD,
JUST PLEASE DON'T LET HER DIE.

I GUESS THATS WHY HE TOOK HER FAST,
SO WE COULD'NT ASK FOR HER TO STAY.
FOR REASON'S ONLY THE LORD KNOWS,
SHE HAD TO GO AWAY.

I DON'T KNOW ALL THE ANSWERS,
BUT I KNOW THIS MUCH IS TRUE.
THAT IF YOU PRAY FOR COMFORT,
THE LORD WILL COME TO YOU.

HE WILL WHISPER TO YOUR HEART,
THAT HEATHERS UP ABOVE,
HE WILL LET YOU SEE, THAT HEATHER KNOWS,
HOW MUCH THAT SHE IS LOVED.

I KNOW THE GRIEF YOU FEEL,
IS SOMETIMES HARD TO BARE,
BUT THE NIGHT THAT HEATHER DIED,
SHE WAS'ENT ALONE,I WAS THERE.

I WRAPPED MY ARMS AROUND HER,
AND SAID WERE GOING HOME.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOUR LOVED ONES,
THEY WILL BE HERE LATER ON.

THERE STANDS A CONCRETE ANGEL,
SHE NEVER SHED'S A TEAR.
SHE WATCH'S OVER HEATHER,
THE ONE I HOLD SO DEAR.

SHE KNOW'S THE DAY IS COMING,
WHEN SHE'LL LOOK UP IN THE SKY.
THE LORD WILL GIVE HER WINGS,
AND UPWARDS SHE WILL FLY.

AND ON THAT GREAT LAST DAY,
WHEN THE LORD WILL TAKE US HOME.
WE'LL SING PRAISE'S OF HIS GLORY,
WHILE HE SITS UPON HIS THRONE.

THERE ARE NO TEAR'S IN HEAVEN,
THERE NOTHING EVER DIES.
ONLY JOY EVERLASTING,
IN THAT LAND OF NO GOOD-BYE'S....


ON MY DAUGHTER'S GRAVE STAND'S A CONCRETE ANGEL.
AND THAT ANGEL IS WHAT INSPIRED THIS POEM.
