His eyelashes are still, will never again move His perfect small ears will never again hear Those lovely plump lips won’t speak any words But my love for my son won’t ever disappear In another life, he lives to be an adult His soul stays on earth, and his body grows tall In another life, my empty arms don’t ache My shattered heart’s whole and my grieved tears don’t fall I have to believe I’ll see him again That when this life ends, another begins My little boy’s there, just beyond the veil On the other side of heartbreak and my imperfect sins I’ll be there someday, when these trials abate When my duties are through and I’ve finished my test He may still be a babe, or a grown man perhaps But I’ll hold him the same, his head to my chest In another life, a life after death Where heartache is naught and love is unfurled My heart will be mended, my arms will be full In another life, in a better world.
