A Visitor From Heaven

by Twila Paris

A visitor from heaven,

If only for a while.

A gift of love to be returned.

We think of you and smile.

A visitor from heaven,

Accompanied by grace.

Reminding of a better love

And of a better place.

With aching hearts and empty arms,

We send you with a name.

It hurts so much to let you go,

But we're so glad you came.

We're so glad you came.

A visitor from heaven,

If only for a day.

We thank Him for the time He gave,

An now it's time to say,

We trust you to the Father's love,

And to His tender care.

Held in the everlasting arms,

And we're so glad you're there.

We're so glad you're there.

With breaking hearts and open hands,

We send you with a name.

It hurts so much to let you go,

But we're so glad you came.

We're so glad you came.

We miss you Hazel Hope.

You were born a week ago yesterday.

We haven't held you for a week today.
