Russ was a great kid, who did not deserve the pain and suffering he
endured. He will be missed by all. His pain is over now, he has been called home by God...

A CHILD LOANED

“I’ll lend you for a little time
A child of Mine” He said.
“For you to love the while he lives,
And mourn for when he’s dead.
It may be six or seven years
Or twenty-two or three,
But will you, till I call him back,
Take care of him for Me?
He’ll bring him charms to gladden you,
And should his stay be brief,
You’ll have his lovely memories
As solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay,
Since all from Earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.
I’ve looked this wild world over
In My search for teachers true,
And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes,
I have selected you;
Now will you give him all your love,
Nor think the labour vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to call
And take him back again?

I fancied that I heard them say,
“Dear Lord, Thy will be done,
For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
For the risk of grief we’ll run
We’ll shelter him with tenderness,
We’ll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we’ve known,
Forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for him
Much sooner than we planned,
We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand.”

Remember Carol anytime you need to talk I am there - I truly understand your pain.
