To the editor:
“Dear God, Don’t Tell Larry I Miss Him”
As I sit here all alone today
I just wanted to talk to you and pray.
Please tell Larry I love him so.
I was so sad when he had to go.
But I know he’s happy there with You.
Don’t tell him how much I miss him.
It might make him sad you see.
I know in Heaven he’s happy, always forever will be.
Dear God, you only gave me this boy
Only to love for a little while.
You knew I needed some sunshine
So You lent him for a while.
He was always so good to me.
No one on Earth could take his place.
I miss him more as days go by
With his sweet and precious smiling face.
We have that promise You made to us
And you have never broken not one.
We will be together in Heaven again
When our race down here is run.
Dear God, I just wanted to thank You
For giving me such a wonderful son
Knowing we will be together again
When my time on Earth is done.
Since Larry was called ahead of me
Before my time on Earth is through
Dear God, a part of me will always be
In Heaven there with You.
Dear God, before I close this prayer
Something else I’d like to say.
Tell Larry I will join him again
And Heaven is not that far away.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
