A Son To Save Us! Poem by Robert Edgar Burns

Oh if we had a baby boy,
We would love him all through the day.
At night we would watch him
While he was asleep.
After a giggle filled fun day of play!

We would sigh while we watched
With tears in our eyes,
And thank our Father above!
For sending him here to bless our home
And fill our hearts with his love!

Then just imagine if after he grew
He left home and travelled away.
We’d hear of him working great miracles
From sun up till the end of each day!

But he had no place to lay his dear head
But on soft pillows we sleep each night.
If only he’d stop doing what he did
He could come home and all would be right!

Right then while thinking all of these things,
A Dove descended from out of the sky,
It spoke and assured us our Son was now His,
And had a plan to work from on high!

He said “You will not like what soon you shall hear,
Happening to the Son you have raised!
Just be certain that after all these things are done,
You shall Praise His Holy name!

This is the reason I sent Him to you
To care for and love all these years.
Your mission was the very most special one,
Someday He shall wipe away all your tears!
