LITTLE FELLER

I'm just a little feller

Who didn't quite make it there.

I went straight to be with
Jesus
But I'm waiting for you there.

Don't you fret about me Mommy
I'm of all God's lambs most blest.
I'd have loved to stay there with you
But the shepherd knows what's best.

Many dwelling here where I live

waited years to enter in

Struggled through a world of sorrow

And there lives are marred with sin.

So sweet Mommy don't you sorrow

Wipe those tears and chase the gloom.

I went straight to Jesus' bosom

from my lovely mother's womb.

Thank you for the life you gave me

It was brief, but don't complain.

I have all of Heaven's glory

Suffered none of earthling's pain.

Thank you for the name you gave me

I'd have loved to brought it fame.

But if I'd lingered in earth's shadows

Might instead have brought it shame.

Daddy gave me something for you

It's our secret, Mommy dear.

Pressed it tight against my forehead

Whispered in my tiny ear.

I'll be waiting for you, Mommy

You and Daddy, Bud and Sis.

I'll be with you then, forever

Then I'll give you Daddy's kiss.
