My Lil' Free Bird
               God works in mysterious ways,
                  Man seldom understands,
              How could a child be taken first,
            Wrenched from his mother's hands?


          Do you think she would have let him go,
             Had she been granted any choice?
  "ME FIRST!' she would have screamed to heaven'
           God surely would have heard that voice.


              But,human clocks are often wrong,
                  When God has other plans.
              Something special about this son,
        Why God chose first this fine,young man.


          "My Lil Free Bird," he was thought of,
                    Shortly after he was born.
                So called,at his first baby steps,
                 It was the way he performed.


                Small he was,like a baby bird,
                   Yet,independent and free.
             From the nest,he flew on his own,
          Which should have foretold his destiny.


                  His own man,he did become,
                   Beholden to no other soul.
                   Self reliant and confident,
               A little free bird,who took control.


                 I think that God already knew,
                   This boy had angel wings.
               So God released him to fly free,
                 Up where all the angels sing.


             Too good for earth,he must go first,
              Little free birds can't last too long.
          Too much like angels,too close to God,
               Barely here,then they are gone.


           His mother's tears may  flow non-stop,
             And his mother's heart may crack.
           But her child always was God's first,
             On loan,she had to give him back.


                So,fly home,my lil' free bird,
                 God's arms are open wide.
             How blest your mother is to know,
          You're with your Father now on high.
