While standing just outside tonight,
beneath the star lit sky;
I looked up just in time to see
an angel soaring by.
I saw a flash of purest white,
just east of planet mars;
Then watched her as she danced around,
and jumped from star to star.
She sang me such a precious tune,
while soaring wild and free;
Then showed me just how high she'd fly,
so high I couldn't see!
She swooped right down to hug my neck,
I held her oh so tight;
Then told her what this meant to me,
if only for tonight!
She told me not to grieve no more,
she'll always be my girl;
But now she's walking steets of gold,
no longer this 'ole world!
We talked some more, spent precious time,
just walking hand in hand;
When time was up, she blew a kiss,
then soared to Beaulah Land!
I never will forget just when;
to short as though it seems;
I held my daughter one more time,
if only in my dreams!

Some time ago, a friend of mine lost his precious daughter. He asked me to write a piece for her, which I did, then a few weeks later I penned these words after he told me about a dream he had in which he got to hold her once again.....
