Our Angel Sunshine - In Memory of Angel Gail Watson

Our Angel Sunshine

(to the tune of 'You Are My Sunshine'. Angels Favorite Song

Our Angel Sunshine, our Angel Sunshine—
you’ve brought such happiness to us.

For seven years now, we’ve grown to love you—
and our lives will be forever blessed.

The other night dear, as you lay sleeping—
we held your hand and held you tight.

We closed our eyes dear and drifted off to—
the days before you faced this fight.

Before your birth dear, in Mama’s belly—
Dear Daddy sang a song to you.

‘And baby now that I’ve found you, I won’t let you go—
I’ll build my world around you, I need you so’.

You were born dear, one day in May—
and we held you in our arms.

With those blue eyes, you gazed upon us—
and with joyous tears we cried.

Our Angel Sunshine, our Angel Sunshine—
you’ve brought such happiness to us.

For seven years now, we’ve grown to love you—
and our lives will be forever blessed.

Our Princess Angel, loved Cinderella—
she loved rainbows and butterflies.

Her favorite color was Princess pink—
and she had sparkles in her eyes.

When Angel giggled, it was contagious—
the sweetest sound you ever heard.

And when she smiled, you smiled with her—
for that smile would light up the world.

Our Princess Angel, would sign ‘I Love You’—
one of the ways she showed her love.

And when she wrapped her arms around you—
it was the whole world’s greatest hug.

Our Angel Sunshine, our Angel Sunshine—
you’ve brought such happiness to us.

For seven years now, we’ve grown to love you—
and our lives will be forever blessed.

Our Angel Sunshine, you faced such hardship—
during a life that was too short..

You faced an illness, with such resilience—
you fought with passion, strength and spunk.

So many love you, you love so many—
it is so hard to let you go.

But we rejoice in, your angel wings now—
and in heaven as an Angel you will glow.

We come together, on this your seventh birthday—
as you earn your heavenly wings.

We stand together, here on Earth—
looking up while cherishing sweet memories.

Our Angel Sunshine, our Angel Sunshine—
you’ve brought such happiness to us.

For the rest of our days we will love you—
and one day we’ll meet again at heavens gates..

There are no words to describe the incredible spirit of this young girl.

She touched so many lives in her short life.

She fought cancer with strength, grit and beautiful smiles.

Her spirit and her love lives on in the hearts of all who loved her.

I'm blessed to have been touched by her.

We love you Angel.....forever and always....

Angels are Amoung us

An angel came to us one day
in the shape of a little girl.
She was born into a family
giving life on Earth a whirl.

A Mom and Dad to love her,
and two big sisters too.
She was made of smiles and laughter,
and gorgeous eyes of blue.

Their precious little cuddle monkey,
sweeter than homemade pie.
She grew and loved to learn,
with a twinkle in her eye.

This little girl, so young and sweet
was wise beyond her years.
To look into those bright blue eyes
was to watch her mind shifting gears.

Their busy baby loved life.
She grew in leaps and bounds.
Then one fateful day,
frightful cancer came around.

This little girl fought so hard.
At times we thought she'd beat it.
But an angels work is never done.
There were places she was needed.

In the loving arms of her family;
and surrounded by Gods love.
Her breath became so very soft,
as the angels watched from above.

They beckoned her to come on home.
Her work on Earth complete.
Her angel wings were waiting,
up in her heavenly suite.

Although the tears would be many;
for on Earth she'd been adored.
The work she'd do in Heaven,
would touch so many more.

She'd leave behind a family,
who'd given her such love.
And peacefully watch over them all,
sending blessings from Heaven above.

Inspired by a beautiful, blue-eyed little girl named @LaylaGrace who is in the end stages of a vicious battle with Neuroblastoma. At 2 years old she's fought a brave fight. Her loving family and their strength in God has helped them stay strong during this fight. Even in the adversity of it all, they have not lost their faith in God's blessings and love. The world is blessed to share every little moment they are granted by having known Layla Grace. Even as I write this for an angel, I continue praying for a miracle that will heal this little girl and allow her to stay with her family on Earth.
