Little Angels
When God calls little children to dwell with Him above
We mortals sometime question the wisdom of His love
For no heartache compares with the death of a small child
Who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild
Perhaps God tires of calling the aged of his fold,
So He picks a rosebud before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them, and so He takes but few
To make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view
Believing this is difficult still somehow we must try,
The saddest word mankind knows will always be "Goodbye."
So when a little child departs, we who are left behind
Must realize God loves children, Angels are hard to find.
