Kissed By An Angel
Tiny baby, wrapped within
Where no sin could ever rest,
A mother's prayer for skin on skin,
A prayer of thanks for being blessed.
Nine full months anticipation
New formation of a life,
Daughter, friend and wanderer,
Now true definition of a wife.
Welcomed pain, joyful love
From above, God sent a child,
Small and sweet, so innocent
But to live a little while.
At birth, I saw his life grow dim,
I cherished him, please don't go!
But four short hours brought an end,
My first-born son, I'll never know.
Many years have come and gone,
Life goes on, in light and dark,
And in my son's photograph,
Between his eyes he bears a mark.
My daughter arrived one year after,
Through the laughter, I remember this,
She was born with the very same mark,
A mark that is called an "Angel's Kiss".
