Our Precious Little Angel
Deborah Darby
January 2004
for thirty~four "Miraculous" minutes you were
with us!
At sixteen weeks gestation you were delivered.
"A Miracle" they whispered because you
arrived with a fighting heart while only
weighing four ounces;
so tiny we held you in the palm of one hand!
God gave us an Angel...
for thirty~four "Glorious" minutes you were
with us!
Within that too brief of a time span, you
transformed us and changed our lives Forever~
a woman into a Mother...
a man into a Father(again)...
a couple into a Family;
that "Special" link to an unfinished chain!
God gave us an Angel...
for thirty~four "Comforting" minutes you were
with us!
You stayed long enough to make sure we were
alright, bringing a quiet calmness and filling
our hearts with love; then you spread you tiny
wings and flew home ~
taking your place in Heaven!
God gave us an Angel ~
