Nine Months

Nine months he grew in me,
Looking forward to what would be,
Now nine months he’s been gone
With many dark dawns.

Sixteen years of shared tears and joy
Sixteen years too short for our boy.
Little did we know how the years would fly
Little did we know how soon we’d say bye.

Now he’s sat at Jesus’ feet
And walked down the golden streets.
And though our hearts are filled with pain,
His life was certainly not in vain.

For Jesus our Savior died on a cross
So our son’s life would not be a loss.
Because he accepted Him in his heart
Now from heaven he’ll never part.

Someday at heaven’s gate we'll meet
And oh how the reunion will be so sweet
Though sixteen years seems such a short run
In heaven we’ll know, we’ve only begun.
