Dancing with the Angels - A Heavenly Valentine

Crystal Michelle Fallin

A Heavenly Valentine

Star light, star bright,

First star I see tonight,

I wish I may, I wish I might,

Have this wish I wish tonight.

I search the sky for you thinking that if I just look hard enough maybe I’d catch a glimpse of you in heaven. I know you are there dancing with the angels.

Angel of the Lord - “On Earth Peace to Those on Whom His Favors Rests”

Crystal Michell Fallin, Lead Angel Nutcracker Ballet, 1996

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

“Glory to God in the highest heaven and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

Luke 2:8-14

Angel Wings - “The Moment that you left ”

Crystal had angel wings tattooed on her back as a teen. The wings in this image reminded me of her angel wings. In her twenties, she had them removed and in her thirties, the angel wings became real.

My Angel - Crystal Michelle Fallin

In memory of Crystal

who left us too soon…

We remember you

in the morning,

In the night,

when we look at the stars,

A song, a place, a smell.

You are always with us.

As long as I live

Your legacy will live

As long as I live

You will be remembered

As long as I live

You will be loved.

My Angel, My joy, My child,

Forever in my heart

An eternal flame of love

In remembrance of you

Dancing with the Angels

Memories surround me,

But sadness has found me,

I’d do anything for more time.
Never before has someone meant more.
And I can’t get you out of my mind.

There is just so much that I don’t understand
But I know.

You’re dancing with the angels.
Walking in new light
You’re dancing with the angels.
Heaven fills your eyes.
Now that you’re dancing with the angels.

You had love for you family
Love for all people
Love for the Father and Son
Your heart will be heard in your unspoken words.
Through generations to come

There is so much that I don’t understand
But I know.

You’re dancing with the angels.
Walking in new light
Yeah, you’re dancing with the angels.
Heaven fills your eyes.
Now that you’re dancing…

We’re only here
For such a short time
I’m going stand up, shout out, sing hallelujah,
One day I’ll see you again

And we’ll be dancing with the angels
Walking in new light
We’re dancing with the angels.
Heaven fill our eyes.
When you’re dancing with the angels
When we’re dancing with the angels

I’m dancing with the angels.
Dancing with the angels.

Lyrics by Ed Cash, Trent Monk, Michael Neagle
