Your Job

During one of my many periods of wrestling with the unfairness of losing Jenson at such a young age, a wise mentor reminded me of a simple fact.  We all have a job to do on this earth.  Once our job is completed, we go home.

Jenson did his job and went home.


Your Job
You walked this earth but not for long
And now you're where you forever belong

You came with a purpose, something to do
A lesson to be taught by only you

A little boy with wisdom beyond your years
And a beautiful smile extending ear to ear

You taught me how to persevere
How to keep going when life is unfair

You taught me how to find joy in pain
And keep my eyes focused on the right things

You taught me how to be present
To live in the moment and enjoy others presence

You taught me how to love even more
And not to worry about what's in store

You taught me I have nothing to fear
I'll see you again when heavenly lights appear

You did your job for all to see
And now you're home for eternity
