A call went out in heaven

By Shawn Smith - July 15, 2009

A call went out in heaven,
A child will be born today,
But he needs a special mother
To guide him along the way.

He will give her love and laughter
He will give her many tears,
And her heart it will broken
At the end of 32 years.

Who will be that special mother
That can carry all the pain,
That when his time has ended
God will call him back again?

So the angels they were scattered
On the earth so vast and wide,
Until they found a special heart
Where love for him it will abide.

And she tenderly caressed him
When from heaven he was sent,
And she showered him with kisses,
But her love was never spent.

Through the years they would grow closer
And a bond it would remain,
And the angels smiled in heaven
At the choice that God had made.

But another call from heaven,
"A child must now come home."
And the angles came and got him
And said "with us you now must come."

Yes a mother's heart is broken,
Yes her eyes are filled with tears,
Yes there are words still left unspoken
As she looks back upon the years.

But in heaven there is rejoicing
For once again love has won,
And the bond cannot be broken
Between a mother and her son.
