Precious little angel
Playing at heavens gate
Meeting new comers
With a joyful face

When my turn came
To travel to my home
I saw the little angel
So brightly he shone

The angel before me
Smiled a boyish smile
I stood in awe of his manner
Cherishing the joy of this child

Hello, I simply said
I knew not, what else to say
As I peered at the entry
Of the pearly gates

Welcome he replied
I have been waiting here for you
Our father said I could be
The one to welcome you

Astonished I wondered
Why such a little child
Would welcome me to heaven
I did not understand why

Where were all my loved ones?
That already made this journey
Why did they not greet me,
As I stood at heavens gate

I felt my heart sink
As I starred past the boy
The vastness of heavens fruit
Did not spare this little joy

I felt my eyes moisten
For I wanted to cry
But then the boy held out his hand
Then placed it in mine

I looked at his sweet face
As he held my hand
Thankful he was here
To welcome and show me in

I am so excited
You’re the very first
Our father told me
You were coming home

I turned once more to see
The precious little child
Dark curls framed his face
He had enormous blue eyes

I dropped to my knees
As I suddenly knew
The little boys face
That I stared into

Finally I cried
As he gave me a hug
Welcome home mommy
I’ve missed and love you so much
