Life is a very frflgile'thing
t
It passes by-' so fast
We need to live each day with faith And make each moment last

Life is a very fragile thing
A bl~_ssirz.g and a care
So let us treasure it with love
And cherish it with prayers
Life is a very fragile thing
God holds it in His hands
And when it's time for us to leave
He'll help us understand
Goodbye my angel Tiny. I'll miss you so very much. I'll miss your smile and hugs and the sunshine they
brought to me from the time I first rocked you in my arms. My eternal love and God's peace goes with you.
