For Henry

We are connected, my child and I
by an invisible cord not seen by the eye
Its not like the cord that connects us till birth
This cord can't be seen by any on earth
This cord does its work right from the start,
It binds us together attached by my heart
I know that its 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
It's stronger than any cord man can create
it withstands tests, 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 chord is my lifeline as never before
I am thankful that God connects us this way
A parent and child, death can't take this away.
