Kyrie eleison priest says
Water important and priest prays
At baptism, chants are incessant
Lord have mercy for those present
Child is beautiful, twelve months old
Godparents, traditions uphold
Undress child, it's fear transparent
Lord have mercy for those present
In font, oil added to water
Placed in water is goddaughter
Oil with water stings, unpleasant
Lord have mercy for those present
Three times child is immersed waist deep
Christ three days entombed for his sheep
In white sheet wrapped, light florescent.
Lord have mercy for those present

If you said you loved me, why did you let me go.
If you said this is the hardest thing you ever had to do, Then why so
Screw the age difference, dont listen to what others say
Just keep on loving me, and telling me why you feel this way
We were better off, not having a worry
Now everyone jumped in and made our visions blurry
Your godparents, your dad and maybe a few more
Why should you listen and have to close that door
You love was true, but got blocked by many
I'll give them my opinion, it only cost a penny
Leave us alone, were as happy as can be
Your just caught up in yourself, blind and cant see
We dont need your thoughts, just keep them inside
Im sick of all your non-sense, just give up and dont try
I love her, she loves me
What's the big deal
About how we feel
I'm sorry you dont approve, but our love will not be denied
Forever I'll be happy, with her by my side
I met this girl, about a month ago
We lived it up had a lot to show
Everything was good, until that day
She moved in with her godparents which is a lot to say
They told her to break up with me
and she did, but she couldn't see
That tore me appart
broke my heart
Now she wants me back, what do I say
I do love her, but my head remembers that day
She said goodbye, but Why
I felt so broken, I wanted to die
Do I take her back, or walk away
This could change my life if I stay
We talked about having kids one day, and getting married
But Im at a loss of words someone please spare me
I dont know what to do, but I know I will be strong
In the end of it all, I will be rite.....not wrong
Sometimes God may take away
Our Beloved Mom's and Dad's,
He has a bigger plan for them
that we may never understand.
But, that is why Our Parents
decided long ago,
to choose Two Special People
They knew would Love Us So.
These People are also Parents,
But, we put God before that name,
Because they show the kind of Love,
that's EXACTLY like the same.
Exactly The Same Kind of Love
That God gives whether we are Good or Bad,
They're Always there to Smile at You,
Or Hold You when You're Sad.
These Two Special People,
I KNEW Right From The Start,
Would ALWAYS be Right There For Me,
We would Never Grow Apart.
And so My Dearest Godparents,
I say to You today; You have
A HUGE Place in My Heart,
That IS Forever there to Stay.
