God gave the most precious gift to me. As He did so he whispered so tenderly, "This child I give you is not yours to keep, when I call her Home, please do not weep.
For I will take her by the hand, across my bridge of love, Together we will fly to my Golden Gates above, Where she can play in the sand, as soft as a sigh, The sun will always shine on her, in a summer blue sky, Her playmates will be Angels with gossamer wings, Her own spiritual mother, a sweet lullaby sings, I'll welcome home, this child, so precious in my sight, She'll be safe at last, a child of Gods light.
So do not grieve when the time comes, she's forever in my care, Behind Heavens Doorway, she'll wait for you there.
