I will loan you, for a brief period,
An offspring of mine, He said.
For you to cherish the while he lives,
Also, grieve for when he's dead.
It might be six or seven years,
Or on the other hand 22 or three.
Be that as it may, will you, till I get back to him,
Deal with him for Me?
He'll carry his charms to delight you,
Furthermore, should his stay be brief.
You'll have his exquisite recollections,
As comfort for your distress.
I can't guarantee he will remain,
Since all from earth return.
Yet, there are exercises educated down there,
I need this youngster to learn.
I've looked the wide world over,
In look for instructors valid.
Also, from the crowds that swarm life's paths,
I have chosen you.
Presently will you give him all your adoration,
Nor think the work vain.
Nor disdain me when I come
To take him home once more?
I liked that I heard them state,
'Dear Lord, Thy will be finished!'
For all the delights Thy youngster will bring,
The danger of pain we'll run.
We'll shield him with delicacy,
We'll adore him while we may,
Furthermore, for the bliss we've known,
Perpetually thankful remain.
In any case, should the holy messengers call for him,
Much sooner than we've arranged.
We'll overcome the unpleasant sadness that comes,
Also, attempt to comprehend.
