IN BEBCRU or Brian Dale Hardwick 10 ACC PARENT I'll lend you for a little time a child nf mine, He said. For you to love the u hilc he lives and mom when hefs 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 We? He’ll briny his charms to gladden you. and should his stay be brief. Uou'll have his 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 the wide world over in By 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 labor vain. Nor hate Be when 1 come to call to take him back again? I fancied that I heard them say, Dear Cord , Chy will be done! For all the joy Ehy child shall bring, the risk of grief we’ll run. Be’11 shelter him with tenderness, we'll have him while we may. And for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay. But should the angels call him much sooner than we’ve planned. Be'11 brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand. 1 88 BEBfPIUB Wr. Brian Hardwick was bom October 25, 1965, in Picayune, Bississippi.
