Little Wings

Little Wings




God bless the little ones... I pray
So gentle, meek and mild
Often labeled by others
As the disabled or handicapped child

A gift sent from the Heavens
Unconditional love with them they bring
Being our greatest teachers
These angels with... unseen wings

In those with eyes, that cannot see…
The beauty in this big old world
Through unknown circumstances, often found right after birth
Upon a blessing now gently laid…
In accepting outstretched arms
For the parent who clearly sees…
This child’s amazing beauty and all their heavenly charms

In those with ears that cannot hear...
The music held in this life
Through the gentle falling rain
In happy laughter to behold
Or in lullabies sung in comfort
While in a mothers arms to hold

In those with legs that cannot walk
Yet, dreaming to be… just like the others
Outside laughing, biking and playing
As they peer from the windows…
Watching their sisters and brothers

In those with a gentle mind
Whose thoughts are not so sure
With stares from others that often walk by
To always… sadly endure

Yet… so kind, sweet and pure
These angels with their little wings
A smile to always share…with every one they meet
No matter to the age they will become…
It is the mind of a child... that you will always greet

In the time, You call me home, Dear Lord
I pray that love and peace will fill my absent years
In no hurt or taunting tease
Only patient and guiding hands
In wiping away the sadness and sometimes fearful tears

In life, that may be so unsure
Keep them in Your sheltering arms
But most of all through Your grace…
In teaching and opening the hearts of others
Shielding them from earthly harm


In love, for the angel child
You so graciously sent my way
Who taught my heart so many things
Like… loving all others, taking the time to pray
I celebrate in knowing... In my heart and soul
That when we enter heavens gates…
All will be mended... and made whole
