Little Angel
An old man sat on a bench one day
Waiting for a bus
When he saw my little girl,
He stood up and neared us.
He came over and held her tight
I screamed and pulled her away.
Her blond hair flew in all directions,
Her blue eyes flickered gray.
The old man stood and brushed his pants,
Wiping off invisible dirt.
His eyes looked down, his lips sealed,
I was sure that he was hurt.
He went and sat on the bench again,
His tearful eyes did glisten.
I pulled my daughter over there
And we sat near to listen.
He looked at me and than at her,
he smiled and looked down.
But when he looked up again,
His face had a tearful frown.
"Years ago, I had a girl...
Her hair was blond and long.
She was my perfect little angel,
she never did anything wrong.
Every day, I called her angel,
I gave her what she'd want.
But, then came a day that hurts me so,
A day, that likes to haunt.
I must have called her angel too much
She was as beautiful as you.
But, then one day, I got a call
what I said came true.
A car came too fast around the bend,
on the same highway she was,
And then God reached and grabbed her arm,
Taking her from us.
Wings she grew on her back,
And a diamond in her heart,
God didn't blink an eye at me,
When he ripped us apart.
The music that once played at home,
Is playing now in Heaven,
He took my little angel away,
When she was only seven.
Your daughter has her smile,
And her eyes are the same blue,
But not as blue as my broken heart,
For the possibility isn't true.
I thought of her when your daughter looked
over here, you see,
I figured she was back now
Watching over me.
God took her away ten years ago
But, she came back one day,
And grabbed onto my wifes hand,
Taking her away.
I sit here on this bench now,
waiting for a ride today,
to take me to the graveyard,
Where my wife and daughter lay."
As he told this story to us,
We knew that it was true,
For then we grabbed his sorry hand,
Spread our wings, and flew.
