My dearest boy what can I say
Just how I miss you every day
Your happy laugh, your smiling face
Uneven jog and rapid pace.
Your energy and constant chat
A lot of this, a bit of that,
In all those years I never knew
A single thing you could not do.
Your interest in those about
Made you a student most devout
I never saw you fall apart
So sure of mind and strong of heart !
It seems to me this world is strange
From ocean’s edge to mountain range
With valleys lower than the sea
And plains as far as eyes can see.
A land of forests, hills with ruins
Lakes, rivers, streams and desert dunes
A coastline full of coves and bays
With swamps and marshes in a maze,
Mass spectacles of God’s delights
This place of dreams and hope incites
Such passion in her people here
They shall not dare to live in fear !
I’d like to believe that I am strong
That I can handle what comes along
Because my courage is loathe to fail
As I’m not a ship without a sail !
Some lessons in life have taught me well
I’ve tales of my own that I may tell
Please help me dear Lord to stand up tall
Or extend Your arms ere I should fall !
There is this fact that I have known
We are each born to life alone
When our time comes to say goodbye
We’re solitary as we die
We travel on that lonely path
With all the power that we hath
For life with Him is fairer still
And all we are is by His will !
When lions roared throughout our past
The world they knew was wild and vast
But time and changes took a toll
Destroying them in their life role.
The king of beasts has lost his crown
His kingdom is all tumbling down
Will they survive, these strong and bold
While love lost pales and soon grows cold ?
