God's Lent Child
"I'll lend you for a little while
A child of mine," God said;
"For you to love the while he lives
And mourn for when he's dead."
"It may be one or two years,
Or forty-two or three.
But will you, till I call him back.
Take care of him for me?"
"He'll bring his charms to gladden you;
And should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories
As a solace for your grief."
"I cannot promise he will stay,
Since all from earth return;
But the lessons taught in earthly realm
I want this child to learn."
"I've looked the whole world over
In searth of teachers true;
And from the ones that crowd life's lane,
I have chosen you."
"Will you give him all your tender care,
Nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to take
This lent child back again?"
And father then and mother said,
"Dear Lord, Thy will be done.
For joys Thy child will bring,
The risk of grief we'll run."
"We'll shelter him with tenderness;
We'll love him while we may;
And for the happiness we've known,
Forever grateful stay."
"But should Thy angels call for him
Much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the grief that comes to us
And try to understand."

Things always come out
alright in the end.
If it's not alright,
it's not the end!!!
Just a little something that I wrote for Dakota.
I was driven to write it.
The words just seemed pulled from me.

Time heals all wounds,
Or that's what people say.
But the only time I want,
Is to go back to that horrible day.
I want a chance to change,
The way things went.
A chance to make it all better,
back to before my world was twisted and bent.
Time is a funny thing,
With the joys and
The heart break that it can bring.
Nothing we can do will change it.
I am screaming inside,
Since the day that I lost you,
I feel like part of me has died.
I miss you so much.
Time goes on,
But the memories remain.
Even though you are gone,
You are still mine, just the same.
My heart seems to always be in pain,
And when I think of you,
Tears fall like rain,
Even when I laugh.
You were such a big part of life,
A living piece of my heart,
Now that you gone,
I am being torn apart.
Nothing I say,
Nothing I do,
Nothing that happens,
Will make me stop loving you.
Your wonderful smile,
Your heartfelt laugh,
The memories that I hold,
Will never pass.
Time heals all wounds,
The pain begins to dim,
But the memories you made,
Keep my world from being grim.
I would rather hold you in my arms,
Instead of just my heart,
But remember, my baby,
We are never far apart.
Sometimes I swear
That you are still here,
Because something happens,
And I can feel you near.
A faint whiff of the shampoo,
That you used on your hair,
Lets me know,
That you are still there.
Even though you are gone,
I can feel you close,
And that helps a lot,
When I am missing you most.
Time heals all wounds,
Or that's what they say.
But please God for now,
Just help me make it through today.
