Gedichten bij het overlijden van een kind

Joy and excitement
and hope and fear
have ruled our lives
but now you are here

Dance with the angels

Fly into the sky
like a beautiful white dove
and dance with the angels
who you so dearly love

No regrets, no remorse
do what you have to
open the doors
to heaven and your angels too
they're waiting to dance
they're waiting for you

I'm not keeping you here, so
I'm setting you free
letting you go
letting you be
so join your angels and you'll see
for soon it'll be the break of day
and you and you angels will fly away

— Malou

Pretty flower in my hair, ivory wings tipped
with gold
They tell me I'm an angel now, and that I'll not
grow old
I've passed through heaven's door and left you
all behind
But my memory will live on in every heart and
mind

The clouds are my playground now, the rainbow
is my slide
I've much more to discover, with angel Gabriel
as my guide
I can sit on the moon and see the seasons
change below
In the summer I'll send sunshine, in the winter
I'll send snow

Every breath of wind you feel is my kiss upon
your cheek
And when you're save in bed at night, through
the window I will peak
When times get tough, I'll be there to hold your
hand
Even though I'm no longer with you, I'm forever
your Aron

An angel in the book of life
wrote down an infant's birth
and mentioned as he closed the book
..... too beautiful for earth

Are you tired little girl
you had such a long brave fight
Are you tired little girl
close your eyes, it is all right

Mommy and daddy
longed to have you in this
world
but they're prepared to let you go
Your star will twinkle in the dark night sky
when we look up we'll see it's glow

Are you tired little girl
let your soul take off in flight
We'll all miss you little girl
but you'll be happy in the light

She left
to follow the golden sun
to shine forever
Just look for her in the rainbow
that's where life began
