There was an angel amongst the glee
She perched up there, upon the tree
Her gown was painted white as snow
Upon her head a bright halo.
This angel only I could see
With mother's eyes, so lovingly
I could not touch, but felt her warmth
She pulled at strings upon my heart
Once in a dream she smiled at me
She wriggled and cooed so innocently
But when day came and I awoke
I knew she was gone, but then she spoke:
Dear mother please don't cry for me
For here I sit to watch over thee
Your eyes, I wipe away your tears
I hold your hand and draw you near
I love you more than words can say
I'm sorry that I could not stay
To open presents Christmas day.

What a sweet poem for Jessica. I love her ornaments, especially the one with her foot prints. So beautiful.
I love the footprint ornament. Beautiful.
I too love the footprint. Because their footprints are in fact everywhere, aren't they.
Someone lovely gave us an angel ornament for Maddy, which Bella hung up. I apparently don't have the time or intestinal fortitude to write about it.
It's perfect. The tree, the ornaments, and the poem.
((hugs))
