NOT NOW, MY CHILD
Folder:
Excursions of the Heart When I was young and found life too hard,
I'd want to end my suffering,
And many times I tried.
Always I'd hear a whisper in my ear.
"Not now, my child, it's not your time."
Over the years it was always the same,
Things would happen I could not bear,
So, I'd try to end my life.
Still I heard that whisper in my ear,
"Not now, my child, it's not your time."
At the age of thirty three,
The dreaded word, malignancy.
A tumor upon my brain did grow,
But a voice I'd heard before said,
"Don't worry, my child, it's not your time."
Even later, a medical mistake
Almost ended my life again.
Crossing over into the light,
A loud voice shouted at me,
"Not now, my child, it's not your time."
Now there is work I need to do
Serving God in His plan;
Giving comfort where I can,
Lending a helping hand,
Waiting for that voice to say
"Come home, my child, it's now your time."
