HE ONLY TOOK MY HAND
Last night while I was trying to sleep,
My Child’s voice I did hear.
I opened my eyes and Looked around,
But she did not appear.
She said, “Ma Ma, you gotta’ listen
You’ve got to understand.
God did not take me from you mama,
He only took my hand.”
When I called out to you in pain that day,
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 pain
My body hurt so badly inside
I could never be the same.
My search is over now,
I’ve found happiness within,
All the answers to my empty dreams
And all that might have been.
I love you all & miss you so,
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….Author Unknown
