God's Tiniest Angels

There was a meeting up in Heaven
and the angels gathered round.
God spoke, They will soon be coming.
Let the trumpets sound.

Make way for my tiniest angels, God said,
for they are almost here.
Watch over them; I must go now,
and help dry their mother’s tears.

And so God went to His special place
to hear the mothers pray,
Tears fell from His eyes as He listened
to what they had to say.

The prayers were very different
yet seemed to blend into one:
You have my tiny angel, God,
but my crying has just begun.

I’m human and I’m weak, God,
and I don’t know what to do,
I need your love and strength,
and your help to get me through.

Please allow me one more thing
before I say Amen and go,
I need to speak to my babies now,
so my love they will always know.

God gathered the tiniest angels
in His arms so they could hear
their earthly mothers speaking from their hearts,
And through their tears.

From Gods eyes as well as the angels
Tears began to leak,
And the trumpets sounded in Heaven,
As the mothers began to speak.

I can’t hold you, I can’t see you,
Or count fingers and count toes,
Nor wrap you in a blanket,
And kiss your little nose.

Ill never feel your heartbeat
As you lie against my chest,
But to question would be wrong,
For God always does know best.

Ill never hear I love you,
Or mommy read to me.
It hurts so much to want you,
Knowing you weren’t meant to be.

Although you were taken from me
You will always feel my love.
I know God will allow that
In His kingdom up above.

Don’t be afraid my little ones,
For you are in a special place.
And don’t worry about me;
God will dry the tears upon my face.

He needed more tiny angels
But we are never far apart.
You’re not in my arms, my little ones,
But you’re forever in my heart.

Then God spoke to the tiny angels
And dried each little tear.
Your mother isn’t with us now,
But soon she will be here.

And when you reunite with her
For all of Heaven to see,
She will hold you close and love you
Throughout eternity.
