Fly Little One

It is with a sad heart that I share with you that another angel has earned her wings. As you may recall, I shared with you a prayer request for a young family faced with difficult circumstances. Unfortunately, their sweet angel earned her wings Saturday after spending six precious hours together. I am sure she was surrounded by love and beauty during her time here. And although her time here was much to short, she has left tiny footprints on the hearts of those left behind.

Please pray for this family as they grieve. Pray for a quick recovery for Mom as she has just given birth to her precious daughter. Please pray that they will continue to feel the love from so many that surround. Pray for their strength as they bear the weight of moving forward and finding a new normal. Pray for comfort, that they may remember the amazing, joyous memories that filled those six hours together. Let them not forget that He holds them in His hands as they face the next steps in this journey together. You continue to be in our thoughts.

Fly, fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again

Fly, fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this mem'ry bittersweet
Until we meet

Fly, fly do not fear
Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won't forget

Fly, fly little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light.
