Little Angel

⸻

Little Angel

I saw you on the schoolyard swing, sunlight dancing in your hair,

Just a boy with dusty sneakers, standing frozen, standing there.

I didn’t know much about forever, but I knew what my heart felt—

Every time the world went quiet, it whispered little angel.

We grew older without trying, letting time pull us along,

Shared a kiss beneath the summer lights, two kids learning their first song.

I held your hand at eighteen, asked if this was something real—

You smiled, and all the universe answered little angel.

Chorus

Little angel… you were heaven in my hands.

Little angel… turning years into a plan.

Through every change and every season, love kept shining where you fell—

My heart learned how to speak your name…

Little angel.

Then you placed her in my arms, tiny fingers, fragile breath,

And my world became a whisper of the life you’d built with depth.

You laughed and touched her cheek so softly, said she had my smile as well—

And just like that, the house was glowing with a new little angel.

Years rushed by in gentle rhythms, our girl blooming into grace,

Then she handed me her daughter, same soft eyes, same quiet face.

Three generations wrapped in stardust, love too big for me to tell—

All the echoes of my lifetime singing little angel.

Bridge

When the time came for goodbye, I held your hand and felt you fade,

But the love we built kept ringing through every shift the years had made.

I whispered through the trembling, through the ache I couldn’t quell—

“You were my first, my guiding light… my little angel.”

Final Chorus

Little angel… you’re the song that never dies.

Little angel… living on in all our lives.

Every daughter, every heartbeat, carries pieces where you dwell—

You never really left my side…

Little angel.
