Heaven In View
Mother watches her boy in bed,
Sees not the man but the child.
The love she gave through his life,
Now she watches him slowly die.
That healthy son, the world his,
He that only wanted to share in love.
Sweet child, have you no mercy,
She feels blame, doesn’t help his shame.
Stay by my side now mother,
He is still the same good luck boy.
Jesus help him find that special place,
So warm that the sun always shines.
Please don’t leave me now mother,
I have made my choices, I am a man.
I am amazing and I will burn bright,
Even when my lights are dimmed.
When we understand not, we seek reason,
You understand God, no explaining.
Now mother watches her baby boy die,
For now, her sun no longer shines.
