Loving An Angel
Rebecca Jo Sester "Becky"

Jesus tapped me on my shoulder one lovely day, "Please listen to me, to what I have to say.

"I have a little child I want to share, one with curly golden hair."
I listened intently as he went on to say,
"She'll be yours to love and care for until the day your task is done and I call her back.
Until that day, no joy you will lack."

I waited and planned during my nine month wait.
Hoping, praying I could keep everything straight.
Oh what a joyus day we all had when she came home with me and her Dad.
My eyes sparkled as I brushed her golden hair, Thankful to Jesus that he wanted to share.
I loved her and taught her right from wrong. Wishing only to me she could belong.
Almost 16 years went quickly by. I loved seeing life through her hazel eyes.
Baton, cheerleading, music lessons, school plays.
My, we had plenty to fill our days.
I instructed her in lessons of grace, what a beautiful smile was on her face.
She grew from a precocious little baby into the most wonderful young lady.
All too soon the Angels came to earth,
"You've done a wonderful job since her birth but she is being called back home.
With the heavenly angels she will now roam.
My tears began to flow, my heart was broken. Nothing I could do, Jesus had spoken,
"You've done what I have asked of you.
You, her Daddy and big brother too.
You've taught her well, how lovely she became
I know you hurt and will never be the same but hold on to your memories, I'll be your guide
and someday I'll meet you at the gate with your Angel by my side.
