twas a night without Aggie

'Twas a night without Aggie,

and all through the yard
The frogs and the flowers

were crying, and hard

That sweet dancing girl,

the flowers were missing
The frogs, without Aggie,

had noone for kissing 

The dog lay down, quiet. 
The swing, it stood still
The watering can empty
No Aggie to fill

Lorraine in her room
All alone, with no sister
She knew if it thundered
She really would miss her

In their beds causing trouble
Were three little boys
Talking of Aggie
And making some noise

And Petie, sweet Petie
In a puddle of drool
Wondered why Aggie 

was still off at school

Working hard in the kitchen
On floors that were muddy
Was mommy, thinking of
Her sweet kitchen buddy

Mom looked out the window
And whispered a prayer

That God would keep Aggie
Warm and safe in His care

That Jesus would help her
In appointments and tests,
To think of His love,
In His hand she rests

Mom knew God was with her,
Was holding her tight,
Even in Cleveland
In the dark of the night

When will Aggie come back?
Asked her sister and brothers,
Buddies on her bed,

And even her mother

We wait for the moment

Aggie bursts through the door
With pictures and kisses

and hugs galore

Waiting to see her

and hug her to pieces

Saying "Aggie’s come back!

Hallelujah! Thanks Jesus!"
