A Little Angel

Today it would be wonderful
To see you play and smile
But heaven lent you to this world
For just a little while,
And in that short but precious time
You brought along much love,
And all that love is with you now,
In heaven up above.
Your leaving caused so many tears,
And such a lot of pain
But God needed one more angel,
So he took you back again.

May Darragh Rest In Peace.
