God sent me a child from heaven
To make me laugh and smile,
But she was only with me,
For such a little while.


She seemed so very happy,
So full of life and pride,
Now i'll never know the feelings,
She kept hidden deep inside.


For one day God came and took her,
And carried her away,
To be with Him in heaven,
Oh Lord i only pray.


That Rachel knew how proud i was,
How much i loved her so,
Now she's heaven's child.
Yet in my heart I know.


She's smiling down upon me,
And prays i understand,
She's reaching down with angel wings,
To gently hold my hands.


She whispers that she loved me,
As her halo glows so bright,
Now a new star up in heaven,
Will shine on me tonight!
