Painting For An Angel
 


Photobucket





If I could paint the happiness
in the love you instilled in me
My canvas would overflow
with butterflies and trees

The skies would be adorned in
memories of soft pristine blues
I would paint this mural happily
because it was sent from you

I would suspend an hour glass
to capture this feeling inside
I'd sketch the rivers and meadows
with these colors you provide

Then I would journey onward
through my pallet of pastels
I'd paint some beautiful roses
yes, the ones you loved so well

I would paint with such vitality
retain it with a frame of gold
Pay homage to the things you love
With each petals dainty fold

If I were really such an artist
with capabilities such as this
I could understand your pleas
of praying for heavenly bliss

Each night became a struggle
Then 'he whispered in my ear'
He caressed my hand so gently
said my child have no fear

This place that I'm taking you
is dressed with golden gates
Now come on my sweet child
let's not make the angels wait

Now I've answered your prayers
you said give me wings to fly
Here they are 'Gods Little Whisper'
Now please child don't you cry

You earned them with your whispers
taught others how they should live
You've taught love and compassion
yes my child and how to forgive!

Now don't be so broken hearted
you'll see your family and friends
You might be that special angel
who welcomes them home again

He whispered in my ear
Gods Little Whisper
