My Angel in Disguise
Sometimes when things are at their worst I have to question WHY
but then I often feel so guilty I hang my head and cry.
I do not understand why things happen as they do,
however, I'm so grateful, it was I who was given you.
You've taught me many lessons with still so much to learn,
I know that it is hard for you, to be like others do you yearn.
Yet, you take what you've been handed and continue on life's way,
not wanting it to stop you from enjoying just this day.
Sometimes, my heart breaks for you as I wipe away your tears,
who am I to question, when you're the one who has to face your fears.
When you look at me with tears in your eye,
and say "why mommy," with you I do cry.
Because, I do not know the answer to this question you have asked,
I just understand, helping You cope, has now became my task.
God has a very special reason, for making you this way,
and He will be the one to tell you why someday.
Until you can understand this though, there are some things for me to do,
to show you just what a special gift you are, and how much we love you.
We told you, once, long ago, to look up at the brightest stars in the sky.
Those are your "guardian angels," and they are watching you from up high.
The ones that left this earth, and we had to let them go,
it hurt us very deeply, but now I think I know,
God needed them up there with him, to hold a special light,
So you could look up to the sky, each and every night,
and then you would know how special you really are,
Those are people who love you, your own bright shining star,
They are walking right beside you each and every day,
They watch over you while sleeping and even when you play.
I told you, you were special, a gift sent from above,
and even the stars in the sky are showing you their love.
The next time we are discouraged and have to question why,
hand in hand outside we will go, to gaze up at the sky,
And the next time that you look at me and ask "but mommy why"...,
I'll know exactly what to tell you as I wipe the tears from your eye,
There really is a reason that you are so different from the rest,
it's because God had a job, He could only give to one of His very best.
You see, we knew that you were "special," but we just didn't realize,
that He chose you, my son, to really be an ANGEL IN DISGUISE!
