At times you cried, and I held you
At times you laughed, and I laughed with you
At times we fought, and I fought with you

When you were little, I held you
When you were bigger, I helped you
When you were older, I played with you
When you were grown, I missed you

This time your gone, and I could not go with you
This time you left, and I cried for you
This time when I think, it will be of you

Next time when you cry, God will hold you
Next time you laugh, God will laugh with you
Next time you smile, God will smile at you

Now you are gone, and I will miss you
Now you are with God, and we both love you
