OH LORD
OH LORD! I REMEMBER THE DAY I GAVE BIRTH TO MY SON, I KNEW THEN THAT THERE WAS A HOPE FOR ME IN THIS WORLD. SO I RAISED HIM TO KNOW OF YOU AND YOUR LOVING FATHER;
I TAUGHT HIM TO LOVE ALL, RESPECT LIFE, TURN THE OTHER CHEEK AND PRAISE THY NAME. AND WITH THAT HE GREW IN YOUR EVERLASTING LIGHT AND ALL THE HATRED HE SAW HE DID NOT BOTHER!
DON'T GET ME WRONG OH LORD! I KNOW HE WAS NOT A PERFECT SOUL, FOR YES HE HAD TIMES OF WEAKNESS, WHEN HE FELL INTO THAT HELLISH PIT;
OH YES THE STREETS THAT ARE FILLED WITH DRUGS AND ENVY TRIED MANY OF TIMES TO CONSUME HIM, BUT I FEEL THAT YOU WERE THERE, BY HIS SIDE, TO SHOW HIM THE WAY OUT OF THE BLASPHEMOUS SODOM AND GOMORRAH. OH YES! YOU SHOWED HIM TO HIS PROPER PLACE, BACK WITH US, THE PLACE IN WHICH HE WOULD FIT!
BUT TODAY OH LORD, I MUST GIVE HIM BACK TO YOU, FOR ANOTHER HAS STRUCK HIM DOWN, HE HAS TAKEN MY HOPES, PRAYS AND ALL THAT IS GOOD AND LOCKED THEM UP TO ROT;
FOR ONE SENSELESS BEING, WHO WAS FILLED WITH ENVY AND SPITE, ONE WHO KNOWS NOT OF YOU AND YOUR LOVING FATHER'S WAYS HAS PICKED UP A GUN AND DELIVERED THAT FATAL SHOT!
OH LORD! HELP ME TO SEE THE JUSTICE THERE IS IN THIS CRIME, TO TAKE ONE SO YOUNG AND LOVING AND END HIS LIFE IN JUST ONE SECOND;
I KNOW I MUST NOT DOUBT YOU OR YOUR REASONS BEHIND THIS, I GUESS I MUST JUST GO ON WITH MY LIFE UNTIL THE DAY THAT I AM BECKONED!
OH LORD I THANK YOU FOR GIVING HIM TO ME IF ONLY FOR A LITTLE WHILE. OUR TIME TOGETHER I WILL NOT FORGET, OH NO! NOT ONE INSTINCT;
NO MATTER HOW LONG OR FAR MY SON IS AWAY FROM ME OUR LOVE WILL LIVE ON. THAT BOND YOU PLACED BETWEEN US IS STRONGER THAN ANY DISTANCE!
