for the Love of a Child

When God delivers Angels
He picks a special few
To guard and cherish infant
He sends with love for you
Rainbows gleam upon a clouds
When such a child arrives
Whose tenderness and beauty
Will so many live
When God retrieves an Angel
For reasons of His own
His goodness and His mercy
Seems distant and unknown
But paradise is knowing
A child who never grew
Holds tightly to God's fingers
And watches over you.
