Oh, lord, when he comes to you, Up to your peaceful heaven above, How does he get there? Will angels ride down? On beautiful white horses? Will he have to go through a series of courses? To prove his love for you? Will you reach for him and pull him up, or is it more tough? Will a staircase come before his feet? Is there someone on it that he should meet? Will there be a wall that he must climb? Will it take a lot of time? And must he look for a key. But whatever he needs to do lord, I hope you will stand by him. We will miss you our baby boy. BROWN FUNERAL HOME CREMATION CENTRE ENTRUSTED WITH ARRANGEMENTS.
