Precious Son

God, I know you gave your precious Son,
To give us life with You.
But we didn’t want our son to leave,
’Cause he was precious too.
We all are special in your eyes,
And all to you return.
We know our son will not come back,
And for this our hearts still yearn.
Our time on Earth is for learning,
And when our lessons are through,
Our Lord will choose the time we leave,
And we come back to you.
Our precious son is with you,
And there will be a day
That we too will leave this Earth,
And you will light our way.
His arms will be wide open,
And the wait will be worthwhile,
When we see again our precious son,
And the splendor of his smile.
