For Carter Reid

Dedicated to a stillborn

I’m sure you’re broken hearted, In fact, I know you are.
You’ll never see me shoot a hoop or watch me drive a car.
You’ll never see me broken hearted, over some girl whom I liked.
You’ll never see my knees all skinned, from falling off my bike.
I know you really loved me, I felt it in your touch.
I loved you too, but now I’ll never get to tell you how much.
I’ve gone to be with Jesus, I don’t know exactly why
But you’ll be with me too some day,
In that sweet by and by.

I know you’re going to miss me, ‘cause I won’t be here.
But I’m okay, even tho I am so small,
I’m spending Easter and eternity with Jesus and my Papaw.
