LITTLE PRINCESS

LITTLE PRINCESS

I did not ever see you,

Or hold you in my arms,

But I am still aware of

The range of all your charms.

I know that you were beautiful

With such a sweet baby smell,

And I am sure they loved you –

That they loved you very well.

And now you have gone from us

No longer here for us to love.

Now you live with the angels

In heaven up above.

What a shock to have to let you go

And they must feel alone

But I am sure that angels came

And carried you straight home.

You brought such joy to all,

Such hours of great gladness,

And now emptiness within

And such a dreadful sadness.

You will live in our hearts

And memory will be kind

Special joys will be ours

The best that you can find.

Fly free little angel

And know that they loved you.

You will always be part of them

And everything they do.

They’ll learn to live without you

To get on with their days,

But always they will remember

You and your charming ways.

They’ll dream of you quite often

And how the days may have been,

They'll be glad they had the chance to tell you

Exactly what you mean.

Rest easy little Princess

Watch over them with love.

Be their Guardian Angel

In heaven up above.

One day you will be together

No more parting days of pain.

You will rest again together

In sunshine after rain.
