For a moment, Dear Lord, I'd like to refrain
From the tears I've shed at your knee
And send up a heartfelt 'Thank You'
For the angel you sent down to me
Angelic she was, in every way
This treasure you sent from above
Down here I called her Mama
And she answered me with love
From my earliest memory of my smallest deed
I looked up into a face filled with pride
If I didn't win the race, or didn't even place
All that mattered to her was that I tried
She was my pat on the back when I did a good job
When I failed, she was always my shoulder
Now that I'm here and she's there with you
I'm so thankful, Dear Lord, that I told her
She was my light when surrounded by darkness
For in her wisdom she taught me to see
There was nothing to fear, for you're always near
And it was that lesson that set me free
For I'm sure deep down she always knew
Someday you'd be calling her home
And I'd have to retrieve what she taught me to believe
Or I'd never make it on my own
So I thank you, once again, for my heavenly friend
Even though it broke my heart to say goodbye
Till I join her up above, please give her all my love
And a hug for every star in your sky
