Tiny Angel
For a brief and fleeting moment, an angel touched the ground.
With tiny wings and halo, and sweet, soft angel sounds.
Blessing the lives of others, in beauty and in grace,
those who saw the angel know God had kissed her tiny face.
The angel came for reasons we may not understand,
a journey brief with gifts so great, and guided by God’s hand.
So, rest now, tiny angel, your work on earth is done.
In the beauty of God’s perfect love, we saw his gift in you.
