Little Angel

In late September almost two years ago, my cousin had her first child.  Her younger sister, who is just a couple of months younger than me, was pretty excited about having a new nephew.  I could definitely understand her excitement, and so a few days later, I wrote this poem for the little boy.  I heard that when my cousin went to meet her new nephew, she read him the poem.  :)

Stay pure, dear little angel,

Stay pure for Him today.

Stay pure, oh little angel,

And He shall guide thy way.

Stay joyful, little angel,

Stay joyful all the time.  

Stay joyful, little angel,

For He is ever so kind.  

Stay hopeful, little angel,

The dawn will always come.

Stay hopeful, little angel,

For you God gave His Son.

Stay faithful, little angel, 

For God loves you, you know.

Stay faithful, little angel,

For yes, He loves you so.

Praise Him, little angel,

Praise Him all day long.

Praise Him, little angel,

Praise Him with happy song.
