I'm surpised to hear the birds song
All seems right with the world
I gaze out my window watching
My little boy and girl

Tears fill my eyes as I bow my head
Lost in silent prayer
How can I tell them that Mommy
Won't always be there

How can I explain to them the cancer
That's invading my body
It will be so hard to tell them..
How do I make them see

They are too young to understand
Josh is five..Laura  seven
They won't be able to comprehend
That Mommy's going to Heaven.

Who will read Laura a story at nite
And gently tuck her in
Who will bake chocolate chip cookies
For Josh and his imaginary friend

Why do I have to leave them
Oh , Why do I have to go
Their little hearts will be broken
You know they need me so

My tears are falling , my heart breaks
I am not concerned for me.
My thoughts are what will happen
To my precious family

Give me the courage and wisdom
Lord, to place them in Your hands
To know that Thy will be done
Please help them understand

Give me the right words to tell them
That I am coming Home
That I will always love them
Though I will be gone.

Help them through the painful months
Lord, Please hold their hand
When they start to stumble Lord
Rise them up again

I'm surprised to hear the birds song
All seems right with the world
I gaze out my window watching
My little boy and girl
