Mommy I see angels, when I lay down to sleep. I’m sure you do darling, close your eye’s and sleep sweet. Mommy I saw an angel at school, he was smiling at me. I’m sure he was love, now come in to eat. Mommy I hear the angels, they tell me secret things. They let me see their halo’s, and I have touched their wings. Mommy the angels are leaving, but one has stayed behind. She says that I should hurry, I’m almost out of time. I asked her what she meant Mommy, She told me I was going to die. Foolish nonsense you said, yet she’s telling me to say good bye. I’m not afraid Mommy, for I know when I go to sleep. My very own angel, will stay with me. It is morning Mommy, oh please don’t cry. I can see you still, from my home in the sky. I tried to tell you Mommy, what the angels wanted you to know. That the angels came for me, because it was my time to go.
