GOD SAID TO ME: "I’ll loan you for a little time A child of Mine," He said. "For you to love the while she lives, And mourn for when she’s dead. It may be six or seven years Or twenty-two or three, But will you, till I call her back, Take care of her for Me? She’ll bring her charms to gladden you, And should her stay be brief, You’ll have her lovely memories As solace for your grief.
