I'll lend you for a little while a child of mine He said, For you to love the while he lives, and mourn for when he's dead, It may be six or seven years, or twenty,two or three, But will you til' I call him back take care of him for me? i'll shelter him with tenderness, I'll love him while I may, And for the happiness I've known forever grateful stay, But should the Angels call for him much sooner than we planned, We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand. A MOTHERS PRAYER. YOUR EVER LOVING MUM X
