A Small Boy A small boy Looked at a star And begun to weep And The boy said You are so far away I will never be able To touch you And The star answered Boy If I was not already in your heart You would not be able To see me The Cord We are connected My child and I, by An invisible cord Not seen by the eye. It's not like the cord That connects us til birth This cord can't be seen By any on Earth. This cord does it's work Right from the start. It binds us together Attached to my heart. I know that it's there Though no one can see The invisible cord From my child to me. The strength of this cord Is hard to describe. It can't be destroyed It can't be denied. Its stronger than any cord Man could create It withstands the test can hold any weight. And though you are gone, Though you're not here with me, The cord is still there But no one can see. It pulls at my heart I am bruised...I am sore, But this cord is my lifeline As never before. And I am thankful that God connects us this way A mother and child Death can't take it away
