MY CHILD, MY CHILD

My child, My child, I love you so; 
You were here, and now you're gone. 
My arms reach out, but you're not there, 
 Surrounded by others, but still alone. 

 My child, My child, don't turn away, 
For I gave you My Son, too. 
His life and death you celebrate, 
This was My gift of love to you. 

 My child, My child, these words I pray, 
Will help you understand, 
Your child is safe within My arms, 
As you will be, once again.
