Dove) Merry Christmas in Heaven Mitchell We Love You and Miss You Mom, Dad, Michael, Matthew, Grandma Brown, Grandma Jayne, Aunts, Uncles, Family and Friends LITTLE ANGELS When God calls little children to dwell with Him above, We mortals sometime question the wisdom of His love. For no heartache compares with the death of one small child seem wonderful and mild. Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to His fold, So He picks a rosebud before it can grow old. and so He takes but few To make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view. Believing this is difficult still somehow we must try, The saddest work mankind knows will always be "Goodbye." So when a little child departs, we who are left behind Must realize God loves children, Angels are hard to find.
