Richard Anthony Sheperd

For brief and fleeting moment, an angel touched the ground;
With tiny wings and halo, and sweet, soft angel sounds.

Blessing the lives of others, in beauty and in grace;
Those who saw the angel, knew God had kissed his tiny face.

The angel came for reasons we may not understand;
A journey brief, with gifts so great, and guided by God's hand.

So, rest now tiny angel, your work on earth is through;
In the beauty of God's perfect love we saw His gift in you.
