TOGETHER AS ONE
An Angel woke up early one morning
for he knew he had a plan
God had told him just the day before
that he was off to a different land.
He was proud that he was chosen
he knew it was a wonderful task
God had many to choose from
but it was he that God did ask.
God told him he would be a special gift
to a woman and a man
and their love would hold him close
as God held them in his hand.
With a golden smile, he began his journey
across the imagination stream
He didn't have far to go
when he reached the rainbow of dreams.
Soon he was carried by the stardust
for he no longer needed wings
And as he grew closer, he heard the woman sing
'Sleep tight my Angel,
gentle kisses from me to you
Sleep sound my Angel,
I'll get to see you soon.
Soon he was in a cozy place
her heart beating music of love
inside his Mother's womb
and Angel from up above.
For only a few weeks was this his home
when God told him it was time to leave
Silently he flew back to Heaven
watching his parents grieve.
The little Angel was confused in Heaven
and he approached God to ask
why he had to leave so soon
and why he was chosen for this task.
He listened closely as God replied:
"In a few short weeks
you shared your love
inside her womb she carried
an Angel from up above.
Your task does not end here"
God told his little one.
"For now you will watch over her
until her time is done."
An Angel woke up early one morning
for he knew he had a plan
On golden wings he flew to her
and gently took her hand
She could not see him through her tears
but felt his presence nearby.
He heart lept with joy
as she heard her own lull-a-bye.
'Sleep tight my Mother
gentle kisses from me to you,
Sleep sound my Mother
Your angel is with you.
From that night on he went to her
in daylight and in dreams
Soon her tears came less.
And her eyes again began to gleam.
He knew he would never leave her side
he'd stay with her till the end.
And on that day she would hold him close
and they'd be one again.
