It maybe six or seven years or 21 or three, but will you, til I call him back, take care of him for me? He will bring his charms to gladden you, and shall his stay be brief, you'll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief. I cannot promise he will stay, as all from earth return, but there are lessons taught down there, I want this child to learn. I've looked the wide world over, in my search for teachers true, and from the throngs that crowd life's lanes, I have selected you. Now will you give him all your love, not think of labour vain, nor hate me when I come to call, to take him back again. I fancied that I heard them say, Dear Lord thy will be done "for all the Joy this child shall bring, the risk of grief will run. We'll shower him with tenderness, and love him while we may. And for the happiness we've known forever grateful stay. And should the Angels call for him, much sooner then we planned, we'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand.
