To the father
Who must watch his son
Suffer in pain
As this life ends and the new is begun
To the mother
Who must hold her baby
As the cries tear her heart out
She must be the strong lady
To each one on this earth
Who must stay behind
And hold the hand of their child
With a strength so strong, somehow they find
To the wife of the husband
A love strong and true
She must now say “good-bye”
Twas not another woman, but God who took him from you
To the husband of the wife
Who brought his children into this world
As she now slips away
He holds tight to his baby girl
To each brother and sister
Who lost one another
In a life of sin or drugs
Somehow they slipped away from each other
For every parent God appoints
As each one of you must cry
For the loss of God’s Loan
As our little children die
Be they young or old
Doesn’t matter in that way
They will always be our babies
Until our dying day
We raise them in the best we know
We hold tight to them in our heart
Though we know what God has said
As they leave it tears our world apart
No matter how we reason
No matter the strength God gives
Tis still so very hard you see
To give them back to God and live
We do not understand why they left us
We do not why we’re the one left here
We know only that we surely miss them
As they slip away through our tears
To all who know these feelings
To each who sees one fall
God Bless you and keep you in His care
God Bless you one and all
