MY PRECIOUS SON
God, I know You gave Your precious Son
To give us life with You.
But I didn’t want my son to leave,
Cause he was precious too.
We all are special in Your eyes
And all to You we will return.
I know my son will not come back,
And for this my heart still yearns.
My time on earth is for learning,
And when my lessons are through,
My Lord will choose the time I leave,
And I’ll come back to you.
My precious son is with You,
And there will be a day,
That I too will leave this earth,
And You will light my way.
His arms will be wide open,
And the wait will be worthwhile,
When I see again my precious son,
And the splendor of his smile.
I missed you today, I will miss you tomorrow.
Tears in my eyes and a heart full of sorrow.
I hold on to the memories of the great times we had
I grieve for what I lost but, I am grateful for what I had.
