A blessed child to have been born,
But God had plans to call you home.
Our precious son we held in death,
Our lives will forever be put to the test.
We will never get to see you grow,
But our faith will keep us whole.
You'll be in the light of the moon and the sunlight in the sky,
Our love for you will never die.
