Into the awaiting eternal embrace
An angel flew on newfound wings
Departure came during mid of night
With offerings of everlasting dreams

Slumber found in the arms of paradise
Cradled in comfort to Heaven's keep
Serenely called amidst other angles
Deserved cared tending is yours in sleep

In gathered sorrow the children cried
All our love travels with you
New to Heaven, but not to us
On newfound wings our angel flew
