Promotion To Angel

10 days before Christmas her momma laid in a hospital bed, she sat quietly beside her, gently rubbing her head. She said "Daddy, is momma in pain, is she hurting"?, he said "baby no, mommas heart is just fading." And all I wanted to say everything went away All I had was love Love to send above They sat and watched as her breaths began to slow and her dad listened with tears in his eyes as a soft whisper said "momma please don't go." The doctor rushed in and told them they had to get out of the room, they tried to bring her back but in an instant she was gone, gone way to soon. And all I wanted to say Everything went away All I had was love Love to send above They went to church that night for the first time in years, the little girl looked up at the picture of heaven with her eyes full of tears. Her dad looked at her and said "baby, that's where your momma is, up there watching over you and me, and I know it'll be lonely this Christmas, but heavens where she needs to be. Jesus gave her a job to do, gave her wings and a halo, he said I know you love your family, but I'm promoting you to angel." And all I wanted to say Everything went away All I had was love Love to send above 20 years later she got a call at work, said her dad had been in an accident, she rushed to the hospital as fast as she could, crying and praying as she went. She got there just in time to hear her daddy's last words, with all of her strength she listened and this is what she heard. "I'm going where your mommas at, she came and sat next to me,and I know that you'll miss me, but with your mommas where I need to be, Jesus gave me a job too, can you see my wings and halo? I know you'll miss me baby, but I'm being promoted to angel." And all I wanted to say Everything went away All I had was love Love, to send aboveThis is my first attempt at a song...
