My Precious Son

You was given to me just a brief moment in time.
  You came into this world sick and fighting for you life.
       I prayed day and night GOD would let you survive.
                   I only got to know for two days,
                 I only got to hold on your last day.
            But, the love I have for you will never fade.
       The memories of you alive inside will never die.
   At nights I lay and cry wishing to have you by my side.
                  Longing to hear your sweet laugh,
     tickle your little toes, and catch your runny nose.
I know GOD has plans for you, he needed you more then I.
                 Every morning I look up into the sky,
                      and know you are still alive.
               You are up their in that big bright sky,
           dancing in the Heavens with Jesus by your side!
