I`ll lend you for a little time, a child of mine, He said.

For you to love while he lives, and mourn when he is dead.

It may be six or seven years, or twenty-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 shall his stay be brief,

You`ll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return,

But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.

I`ve looked the wide world over in my search for teachers true

And from the throngs that crowd life`s lanes, I have selected you.

Now will you give him all your love, nor think the labor vain,

Nor hate me when I come to call, to take him back again?

I fancied that I heard them say, Dear Lord, Thy will be done.

For all the joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we`ll run.

We`ll shelter him with tenderness, we`ll love him while we may;

And for the happiness we`ve known, will ever grateful stay.

But shall the angels call for him much sooner than we planned,

We`ll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand.
