Was He thinking about my country…

…..or the color of my skin?

Was He thinking ‘bout my religion…

…and the way I worshipped Him?

Did He create justmein Hisimage?

Or every living thing?

When God made me.

WhenGod made me….

Was He planning only for believers….

..or for those who just have faith?

Did He envision all the wars…

That werefought in Hisname?

Did He think there was only

one way….

To be close to Him?

When God made me….

When God made me.

Did He give us

the

gift of love…..

To say who we could choose?

When God made me….

When God made me….

When God made me….

When God made me…

Did He give me

the gift of voice

So some could silence me?

Did He give me the gift of vision…

Not knowing what I might see?

Did He give me the

gift of compassion

To help my fellow man?

When God made me….

When God made me….

When God made me….

Goodbye, Son. We will always love you.

Baby Mine

Thanks for all the good times we had.

I miss you.

Mom

I thought I caught a glimpse of you

from the corner of my eye.

I turned around and called your name

hoping you were coming by…

But, Jan, my boy, the world’s not real.

I’m betrayed by a despondent dream.

It’s tracking me…. by day… by day…

It’s your life, I can’t redeem.

I know I’ve lost you from this earth

And I weep for your face, your smile,

But, still, I search for you anyway…

by inch, by yard, by mile.

Each second I breathe, you fill my thoughts.

I cannot set you apart.

You embraced my soul when you were small.

You charmed me from your heart.

I love you, Jan, sweet son of mine

and this pain’s so hard to bear.

I pray the angels take care of you,

at least….‘till I get there.
