Sweet Baby Angel

We'd like to share a remembrance poem for William that has brought us much comfort. We displayed this poem during William’s memorial reception but did not have time to read it aloud. It is a beautiful message that paints a picture of what heaven is like for our William. It's called Sweet Baby Angel.  We hope it brings you comfort as well.

Sweet Baby Angel

You’re dancing with the angels now our precious little boy...

The heavens are rejoicing and angels’ hearts are filled with joy...

One angel in particular... she has the kindest face

We see now she’s the angel in charge of Heaven’s Crèche

She takes you from the others and she sits you on her lap

And she sings to you a lullaby as you snuggle for a nap

She’s whispering so softly that it’s hard for us to hear

But if we listen carefully the words become quite clear...

She’s telling you we love you from the bottom of our hearts

That we’ve loved the very thought of you right from the very start

That we wish that we could cuddle you and never let you go

And cover you with kisses so that you would always know

How precious were those moments and how blessed we feel to be

The mommy and the daddy that you chose to come and see

She’s telling you how sad we are that you couldn’t stay and play

And that we understand how tired you were...

That you’ll play another day...

Another day you’ll see us... a lifetime we will wait...

Then you’ll be there to greet us just inside of Heaven’s gate

You’re smiling at the angel and you seem to understand 

And then we see you blow a kiss with your tiny little hand

We close our eyes to catch it... feel it land upon our cheek

And we thank you precious darling...

Sweet baby William... time to sleep xx
