No one ever told me
That holding my sweet baby boy
Would end much, much too soon.
No one ever told me
That giving you freedom to grow
Would give you wings to fly.
No one ever told me
That watching you become a man
Would be so bittersweet.
No one ever told me
That being at home without you
Would feel so incomplete.
No one ever told me
That leaving you in the Lord's hands
Would leave my hands feeling empty.
No one ever told me
That answering God's call on your life
Would lead you far, far away.
No one ever told me
That following God's plan for my life
Would produce such a Godly harvest in yours.
No one ever told me
That releasing what I wasn't meant to keep
Would return that which can never be lost.
I love you, Son, go with God...
