"Destined Minds"

Jake

how loved thou art
how precious thy tiny form
how I longed to hear you laugh and cry
but now theres only tears

and now I must take the time
for thy loss I will but mourn
and I thy mother grieve the loss
of all those hopeful years

of all the dreams and wishfullness
of a life that fully could be
can only trust thou into the Lords hands
no better place that comforts me

Angel wings flew thou into the arms of Jesus
where you abide and wait for me
precious precious child
your daddy and I loved thou so

and how we hath desired many years
to teach thee many many things
but everything in its season prevents
us to watch you grow and grow

With God thou art not forgotten
but I will know thee when we meet again
for you will be at heavens gate
where an eternity of mothers love can be spent....
