Heaven couldn’t wait

I remember it like yesterday,
when I learnt that you were on the way,
and when I saw your cherub face,
I understood why heaven couldn’t wait.

For six months I carried you,
for eternity I’ll cherish you,
and though my heart now aches,
I now know why heaven couldn’t wait.

For some folks a lifetime of labour,
for others, the job’s done in an hour,
and for all the lessons you taught us,
I now know why heaven couldn’t wait.

Twinkle twinkle little star,
my little angel from afar,
until we meet on God’s beautiful shore,
for that I’m sure heaven can hardly wait.
