Letter to the Angels

Little angel in the sky,
The one who passed away;
The one I didn't know too well,
But have so much to say.

I'll always miss you, little one,
Although we never met.
We promised not to grieve for you,
But it's a promise that can't be kept.

Great-big angel in the sky,
The one who passed away;
The one I knew all too well,
And have so much to say.

I'll always miss you, great-big one,
And remember all the joy,
And all of the stories about,
"When Grandpa was a boy..."

So for all the angels watching us,
I have to bid adieux.
And when I think of being sad,
I'll think of all of you.

You are up there to watch us,
So much closer than before.
And to see all of the details
That we mortals see no more.
