My
Child, My Life
It's
been a while
now,
Since you left
us to be with
Him;
But, it is no
easier now,
Than it was
way back when.......
Our days are
like the stepping
stones,
Up to heaven
we'll ascend;
To see you once
again, my child,
And tell you
where we've
been......
God picks his
flowers one
by one,
As someone use
to say;
But when He
called you home,
my child,
He got the whole
bouquet.....
Send us a sign
that you miss
us, too,
As for your
love, we know
it's there;
We feel it with
each passing
day,
Nothing else
on God's earth
can compare.....
Echoes of your
wonderful voice,
Are always in
my mind;
At times, I
feel your presence,
So loving and
Oh! so kind....
We would like
to tell you,
As along life's
road we trod;
Our thoughts
are always with
you,
Please take
us to him one
day, my God.....
Until
then, please
know we love
you,
And miss you
more each day;
We'll see you
once again,
my child,
For this one
thing, I shall
always pray.....
Always to remember......never
to forget.....
