The blinded gift that was given
With the purest hearts of all
The sweetest laugh you ever heard
She brought pure joy within our hearts
Mix beauty at the start.
She woke up eyes to the true love
An angel brought to us from above
In our human eyes we were blind
Because it wasn’t time to see
That God has brought an angel to me
We are blessed with the most pure of hearts
She has been an angel from the start
She was gifted to heal our bloods
On both sides growing true love
Gaining awareness as time went on
That this angel was to go on
Loved the beauty of the earth
The stars the moon the sun at most
Swam through waters at the beach
Laughed and played in sand beneath
Tickled with joy filled with love
She was an angel from above
Sent here to heal and save our souls
She brought all sides of family together
And healed all anger animosity between
God was president of the miracle at hand
To bring all loved ones into the light
To save more souls for heavens home
The miracle continued like waves in the ocean
The light of acceptance through our hearts and souls
To gather God’s people I was told
She has started her legacy and it will grow
Through the start
A miracle has been born the joy of God’s hands
An angel at work for mission at command
Hallelujah hallelujah the angels have song
Took Lilyana one by one
The most beautiful presence of the power at work
Vibrated our body and lifted us all
At peace as she was taken to heaven
The choir of angels we felt full force
Our God was present
The calm within her job was done in her vessel of earth
Now she returns as an angel at work
We are so blessed God chose our family
To gift us with an angel of the highest heavens
As she sits on his lap with a crown and pink dress
The angels are singing to release our distress.
