[Lea12]

Last night while I was trying to sleep
My son’s voice I did hear
I opened my eyes and looked around
But he did not appear.

He said "Mommy you’ve got to listen,
You’ve got to understand
God didn’t take me from you, Mommy
He only took my hand.

When I called out in pain that night,
The instant that I died,
He reached down and took my hand,
And pulled me to his side.

He pulled me up and saved me
From the misery and the pain
My body was hurt so badly inside,
it could never be the same.

My search is over now,
I’ve found happiness within,
All the answers to my empty dreams
And all that might have been.

I love you and miss you so,
And I’ll always be nearby.
My body’s gone forever,
But my spirit will never die!

And so, you must go on now,
Live one day at a time.
Just understand
God didn’t take me from you,
He only took my hand."
