Ayla Sanchez Memoriam

We had so little to share,

Too soon I had to leave,

I know how much you grieve.

I remember how you held me,

And kissed my face and hands,

You cuddled me so gently,

But, God had other plans.

I was your prefect Angel,

From God you knew I came.

Suddenly he called me home again,

And now God holds my hand.

I know you'll always miss me.

I understand your pain is hard to bear.

Just remember that I'm here in heaven,

And we'll see each other there.

So smile when you think of me,

And wipe away all of your tears,

I'm cuddled now in heaven.

I'm waiting here in heaven,

And on the day we meet again,

I'll be the first to greet you,

When God calls you home to him.

We miss you very much
