February 20th, 2008
On the floor with her mom
Putting her shoes on
Getting ready for another day
February 20th
She says, “Mom is it true?”
“Does God really have a big big house?”
“Does it really have a lot of rooms? “
And she said,
“I really, really want to go there.”
And I said,
“So why don’t we just talk to Him?”
That’s what we did
On February 20th

February 20th
I did my best to explain
How it is that we all will be with God
How it was the Savior came
February 20th
If it’s true what He said
Then God Himself sang along
With the beautiful song of rejoicing in Heaven
As she prayed, “Jesus, please come and live in my heart.”
“And someday can I come live with You?”
And we could never have imagined
She’d be going there so soon

So soon
So soon

God only knows
Everything that happened in that moment
God only knows
What He whispered to her heart
God only knows
Just how thankful I will always be
That He gave her mom and me
February 20th
