~IF YOU CAME
BACK FROM HEAVEN~
If you came
back from heaven
So many things
I would change
I would care
less about how the house looks
Or how the
furniture is arranged
I wouldn't
worry about fingerprints
That you left
on the wall
I'd throw
a wobbly pitch to you
And again
play the game of baseball
I'd find an
old limber pole
And a very
long piece of string
We'd make
your fishing a lot more fun
And feel our
hair blowing in the wind
I'd look at
you from dawn till night
And brush
your hair with my hand
And when you
smiled that happy grin
I'd say, "You're
my little man."
I'd tuck you
in so gently
Again when
bedtime came around
I'd tickle
you and make you giggle
In case your
face had a frown
I'd never let
you out of my sight
Not for a
minute of the day
I'd listen
again very closely
To every word
you had to say
I'd teach you
deeper compassion
In a way I
now know
That I didn't
fully realize
Before God
called you home
I'd make you
say your prayers each night
And thank
God for a second chance
And when you
said, "My soul to keep"
My heart would
sing and dance
If you came
back from heaven
What a glory
it would be
I'd tell the
angels the next time they call
I hope you
stay and they take me
