Pardon Me Lord,

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.
