Goodbye Baby

I was the highlight of your life Mommy but just for a while.
Daddy promised me we’d play catch when I grew up a bit.
But then that day came, Mommy.
God came for me while I slept,
He said not to worry Mommy.
He said I was sick it was something that the doctors missed.
Please tell Daddy we’ll play catch when God comes for him too.
And Mommy I promise when you come we’ll bake our cookies,
The ones that Daddy loves so much.
Tell Grandma, Grandpa, and Auntie too that I miss them and I’ll always be with 
you.
The angels said that I’ll grow up real quick up here,
But I told them No I’ll wait until the year when my Mommy and Daddy come to stay.
But we all still play.
Its fun up here Mommy.
But I know that down on Earth you are crying because God came to take me away.
But don’t worry Mommy God said that I was really sick.
I know you love me Mommy and I love you too.
But please Mommy don’t look so blue,
God said that instead of him, I can come and get you and Daddy.
But God said I must wait until the time is right and trust me that time is nowhere 
in sight.
So please don’t look all upset Mommy, Daddy you too,
Just remember that I am always watching over you.
I must go now mommy the Angels are giving me my wings.
Then they told me I could come and watch over you and Daddy,
Forever if I want
