Casie Erin

Her bags were all packed
But Casie was late
She missed the first bus
Leaving from Heaven's Gate
Her Guardian Angel was in a snit
and both Grandmas were having a fit
Mommy and Daddy wondered where she could be
As Aunt Kimmy said, "She's not with me!"
The Angels began searching far and wide
Using a great big Heavenly Map
And suddenly their chest swelled with pride
When they found her sitting on God's lap
She cooed and smiled without any fear
As He whispered only what she could hear
And when he kissed her cheek, it became quite clear
From His Eyes fell a great big tear
Then he handed her to the Angel by his side
For now she was ready for that long fast ride
When the express left Heaven early that morn
That's when Casie Erin was born.
