Cleo Marie Appling

Little Angels

When God calls little children

to dwell with him above,

We mortals always question

the wisdom of his love.

For no heartache compares with

the death of one small child

Who does so much to make this world

seem wonderful and mild.

Perhaps God tires always calling

the aged to his fold

and so he picks a rosebud

before it can grow old.

God knows how much we need them

and so he takes but a few

To make the land of heaven

more beautiful to view.

Believing this is difficult

still somehow we must try

The saddest word that mankind knows

will always be “Goodbye”.

And so when little ones depart

we who are left behind

Must realize how much God loves children

for angels are hard to find.
