Angel Tears

"Mommy, I'm scared,"
You cry as you jump onto my bed.
"The thunder is loud," you whimper
As under the blanket you bury your head.

"It's only nature, Baby,
It's not scary.
Don't cry though,
You can spend the night by me."

"Why does the water
Fall from the skies?"
"Because that's what happens
When an angel cries."

"You see, my sweety,
It happened years ago,
The angels up in Heaven
Lost one of their own."

"That was the day
I was blessed with you.
I had found what they had lost -
You were mine, brand new."

"And so each day somewhere
The rain falls from the skies.
They miss you, Angel,
That's the reason angels cry."
