Gary Hill Poet Rhyme

Angel Boy

I once had a little boy
But he was only here on loan
God in his infinite wisdom
Decided to call him home

I loved my darling little boy
I loved him every day
Right up to the very moment
He sadly passed away

My little boy caught meningitis
Completely took him over
Left him fighting for his life
Unconscious in a coma

Prayers and vigils were said and done
But alas to no avail
My little boy died in my arms
In his fight, did not prevail

I once had a little boy
He was only here on loan
God in his infinite wisdom
Decided to call him home
