~HE ONLY TOOK MY HAND~

Last night while I was trying to sleep
My son's voice I did hear
I opened my eyes and looked around
But he did not appear

He said, "Mom, you've got to listen
You've got to understand
God didn't take me from you
He only took my hand

When I called out in pain that night
The instant that I died
He reached down and took my hand
And pulled me to His side

He pulled me up and saved me
From the misery and the pain
My body was hurt so badly
I could never be the same

My search is really over now
I've found happiness within
All the answers to my empty dreams
And all that might have been

I love you so and miss you too
And I'll always be nearby
My body's gone forever
But my spirit will never die

And so you must go on now
Live one day at a time
Just understand
God did not take me from you
He only took my hand"
