With healing in her gentle touch
And gold dust in her hair,
Heaven lost an angel
When it sent a light so fair
To comfort all the wretched souls
Whose lives had come undone,
To help the dying reach their goal –
The warmth of Heaven’s sun;
And though her stay on earth was brief,
Her flame burned clear and strong
To show we can accomplish much
And yet not stay so long –
For passion can move mountains,
And love can do the same –
One dropp returns the ripple
To the Source from whence it came;
She lived her life as she had planned
Before she was aware
That Heaven had a plan for her
And a gift for her to share –
Her name will live forever
On the lips of those she knew,
Though Heaven reclaimed an angel,
Earth has known one, too.
