"Through The Eyes of Love"
A Child On Loan
"I'll lend you for a little
while a child of mine", God said...
"For you to love the while he lives
and mourn for when he's dead.
It may be one or two years
or forty two or three;
But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for Me?
He'll bring his charms to
gladden you and
(should his stay be brief)
You'll have his lovely memories as a solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will
stay, since ALL from earth return;
But the lessons taught below I want this child to learn.
I've looked the whole world
over in search for teachers true;
And from the things that crowd life's lane --- I have chosen you.
Will you give him all your
love, nor think the labor vain?
Nor hate Me when I come to take this lent child back again?"
I fancied that I heard them
say, "Dear Lord, Thy will be done.
For joys Thy child will bring the risk of grief we'll run.
We will shelter him with
tenderness,
we'll love him while we may
And for the happiness we've known
forever grateful stay.
But should Thy Angels call
him
much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the grief that comes,
and try to understand."
