Pardon me Lord,
I’m sure there’s been a mistake.
You called my little boy last night,
He never got to wake.
He was so young, you see,
Just starting on his way!
He found so much love and joy
In each and every day.
Certainly there was a mistake,
You called my precious boy!
He had no pain, no suffering
And so much more to give,
Please give to this some extra thought
And choose to let him live.
He had so much more to do here,
He should not be gone just yet.
Was it me? Did I do wrong?
I didn’t get to try too long.
I will do more, more hugs, more kisses
More stories at bedtime
More rocking, more tickles.
I’ll try to be all of the things that I missed
Please Lord, maybe just one more chance?
I’m certain there is confusion
At that glorious throne.
You have an extra angel there
When he should be at home.
Can we just go back in time a bit?
I’ll wait and let them know,
He’s not ready,
I’m not ready,
It just can’t be his time yet.
I’m sure there’s been a mistake.
