~I'll Lend You A Child Of Mine~
I'll Lend You A Child Of Mine
"I'll lend you for a little while, a
child of mine," He said.
"For you to love while he lives,
and mourn when he is 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?"
"He'll bring his charms to gladden
you, and his stay be brief,"
"You'll have his lovely memories
as solace for your grief."
"I cannot promise he will stay, as
all from earth return."
"But, there are lessons taught down there,
I want this child to learn."
"I've looked the wide world over in,
my search for teacher's true."
"And from the throngs that crowd
life's lanes, I've selected you."
"Now you will give him all your
love ~ not think the labor vain."
"Nor hate me when I come to call
to take him back again."
"I fancied that I heard them say,
'Dear Lord, thy will be done.'
"For all the joy this child shall
bring, the risk of grief we'll run."
"We'll shower him with tenderness,
and love him while we may."
"And for the happiness we've
known, forever grateful stay."
"And should the angels call for
him much sooner then we planned,"
"We'll brave the bitter grief that
comes, and try to understand."
