God once sent me an angel of heaven,
I thought he was mine to keep, to hold,
But, then he left me when he was seven,
And now I am left feeling empty and cold.

I laughed with my angel, I would smile,
We would go on long walks on warm days,
Now he’s left me and I’m in bitter denial,
I miss him in so many, many ways.

He was born innocent and full of love,
A constant companion, my best friend,
So he left the world, as pure as a dove,
It’s hard to believe our days together are at an end.

When I first heard all I could think was ‘why?’
All I could think was ‘no, no, this is not true’,
I kept asking ‘why? Why did my boy have to die?’
I cried because I knew his life was through.

He really hasn’t left though, I still feel him near,
God has blessed me with an angel, always to be,
For he’s here in my heart, and there’s nothing to fear,
Now I know not even death will take him away from me.

God once sent me an angel of heaven,
He left the world when he was seven,
God has blessed me that I got to have Bear,
Who showed me how to remember, love, and care.

He lived his life through,
Bear, we miss you.
