Death took my son one winter day
I had no choice, I was meant to stay
I died inside, not wanting hope
My soul was grounded, I could not cope
Time could not heal this shattered heart,
I would not let it, he could not part!
Death took my son and then came for me
But it let me live, what a tragedy!
I let death win, no strength to fight
I tried to hang on with all my might
It was no use, more determined than I
Little life left, just enough to cry
Tears and pain were a fact of life
Anger was gone, leaving only strife
Death took my son, what could I do?
Submit, give in or turn to who?
My God was there, I chose not to see
He sent His angel to watch over me
She let me mourn to give me strength
And grieve I did at such great length
I couldn't be strong, No! Not alone,
Until I remembered, my son was home!
God showed me death didn't have my son
If only I believed "They will be done"
To live the life which I know pleases
My son in heaven, My Father above
His peace descends on me like a dove
Although at times my heart's in pain
God has promised, I'll see him again
