This Child of Mine

I'LL LEND YOU FOR A LITTLE TIME
THIS CHILD OF MINE
FOR YOU TO LOVE WHILE HE LIVES
AND MOURN WHEN HE DIES
HE'LL BRING HIS CHARM TO GLADDEN YOU,
AND SHALL HIS TIME BE BRIEF.
YOU'LL HAVE HIS LOVELY MEMORIES
AS CONFORT FOR YOU GRIEF.
I CAN'T PROMISE HE WILL STAY
SINCE ALL FROM EARTH RETURN
BUT THERE ARE LESSONS TAUGHT DOWN THERE
I WANT THIS CHILD TO LEARN
NOW WILL YOU GIVE HIM ALL YOU LOVE
NOR THINK THE LABOR VAIN
NOR HATE ME WHEN I COME TO CALL
TO TAKE HIM BACK AGAIN
YES WE'LL LOVE HIM WHILE WE MAY
AND FOR ALL THE HAPPINESS WE'VE KNOWN FOREVER GREATFULL STAY
BUT SHALL THE ANGELS COME FOR HIM
MUCH SOONER THAN WE PLANNED
WE'LL BRAVE THE BITTER GRIEF THAT COMES
AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND
THIS TRAGEDY CUTS DEEPLY NOW,
AND THE HURT TAKES TIME TO HEAL
BUT THROUGH IT ALL PERHAPS
GODS HAND WE WILL FEEL

THE END
