Angel Dust by SlaveToTheMusic Let the angels sweep my child and hold her to the sky, Gently rock her to sleep with a sweet babies lullaby, Hold her in your arms as a halo floats above her head, When she falls asleep lay her upon daisy flower bed. Play with her on clouds as she giggles with such delight, Please be careful not to wake her as she is afraid of the night, Watch her eyes glisten with the color of beautiful blue, When she gets her wings make sure her hearts not askew. Feed her vanilla custard, As it is her most favorable treat, White her favorite color, wear slippers upon tiny feet, Protect her with your presence, make sure she is loved, Mittens upon pink fingers, through winter keep them gloved. Throughout cherub heaven will my precious daughter glide, Forever in my aching heart shall this angel always reside, Cloaked beyond magic, in a world where I can not hold, Let the memories of my daughter forever be told. WHAT I WOULD GIVE<3 by XxBaBBlinGXXBrOOkExx3 I think of that day; my vision blurs & my throat starts to close I'm trying to stay strong but my weakness seems to show What I would give to stroke your hair Grab ahold of your hand, to know that you'll always be there Looking back a year from today I lost a big part of my life; He took you away What I would give to gaze into your eyes So my reflection could show thoughts of you are always crossing my mind I miss you so & there is not a day that goes by Where I don't think of you & pretend to try To keep my composure; to not break down & cry What I would give to touch your lovely face To be surrounded by your love & your sweet embrace When I think of your soft smile & all the love you gave I know your place in my heart will never fade What I would give to have just one chance To play a never ending song so you & I could dance It's times like these I ask myself why He chose you to take to His home in the heavenly sky What I would give to get the opportunity to rewind to the past Where all of our memories could come alive & forever last Now your my guardian angel, always there by my side Although you are not here, your soul is coming along with me for the ride I just wish you could give me a sign, to let me know you're okay To give me one less thing to worry about each and everyday In my heart you will stay, along with the memories too & always remember that never in my life will I ever forget you

We pray that God will find the love to make her better just maybe But one thing is for sure she'll always be our special baby. ****~*** Our baby is an angel now, She’s happy and carefree, Our baby is with God above, She’s where she wants to be. She wouldn’t want us to be sad, And so we shouldn’t weep, For in our hearts we’ll always know Our baby’s gone to sleep.
