Christmas Angel...

[tiggy]

I have a little angel
I hang upon my tree
He reminds me of another that
I cannot touch or see.
As I place my lovely angel midst
the sparkling lights on high
My other little angel roams the
dazzling, star lit sky.

As I celebrate at Christmas time
God's child who came to Earth
I think back to that special day-
My own beloved child's birth.
As long ago, the world was shown
A wonderous star above,
within my heart there shines a light
of pure undying love.

Perhaps for one, he'll put aside
his thoughts of heavenly things,
remembering this time on Earth
he'll soar on shimmering wings.
Join little ones with shining eyes and
thoughts of Christmas glee,
The holy day, he'll spend with us-
his earthly family.

Perhaps we have a feeling that
our little one is near
As he soothes the sad place in our hearts
and dries our secret tears.
Then he'll take flight on outstetched wings
for heaven up above
while we receive the greatest gift
of God's eternal love.
