I'll lend you for a little while
A child of mine, God said.
For you to love the while she lives
And mourn for when she's dead.

It may be six or seven years
or forty-two or three.
But, will you, 'til I call her back,
Take care of her for me?

She'll bring her charms to gladden you
And should her stay be brief,
You'll have her lovely memories
As a solace for your grief.

I can not promise she will stay
Since all from Earth returns,
But there are lessons taught below,
I want this child to learn.

I've looked the whole world over
In my search for teacher's true.
And from the things that crowd life's lane
I have chose you.

Now will you give her all your love?
Nor think the labor vain?
Nor hate me when I come to take
This lent child back again?

I fancied that I heard them say
Dear Lord, thy will be done.
For all the joys thy child will bring
The risk of grief we'll run.

We will shelter her with tenderness,
We'll love her while we may.
And for all the happiness we have known
Forever grateful stay.

But should thy angel call for her,
Much sooner than we planned
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand.

 

IF I HAD KNOWN

If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you fall asleep, I
would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up
in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could
play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute
or two to stop and say "I love you," instead of assuming, you
would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your
day, well I'm sure you'll have so many more, so I can let just this
one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and
we always get a second chance to make everything right.

There will always be another day to say our "I love you's", And
certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything I can do's?"

But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, I'd like
to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget, Tomorrow
is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, And today may be
the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight..

So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if
tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day, That you
didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you
were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one
last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today, whisper in their ear, Tell
them how much you love them and that you'll always hold them
dear, Take time to say "I'm sorry," "please forgive me,"
"thank you" or "it's okay"

And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.
