Borrowed from the Maker,
this short lived human life.
It seems to last forever,
filled with pain and strife. 

Selfish beings we are,
to keep the ones we love.
to comprehend these precious gifts,
are lent from up above.

Painful to let go,
God calls His children home.
Their purpose here fulfilled,
it’s time to carry on.

As a child of Christ,
soon to meet again.
In good hands we know,
fond memories deep within.
