Mommy, I came to Jesus today.

He sent an angel who flew me away.

While I lay sleeping, he whispered to me;

Come little Drake, He's waiting for thee.

There was no pain Mommy, there was no fear.

Just the presence of Jesus, close and so near.

And now you hardly recognize me,

I've been given a perfect body now.

My arms are so strong, my legs are so straight,

I run fast and jump, and mommy it's great.

I played all the day and I sat on Christ's lap.

And he told me here I won't have to take naps!

But Mommy dear Mommy, I stopped playing awhile

For in the midst of my joy, I heard you cry.

So I'm sending this message to say

I'm just fine Mommy, I'm really okay.

When on this earth I could not speak,

So my words of love I had to keep.

But I was given a voice today

And praise the Lord is all I can say,

So Mommy sweet Mommy

Don't cry anymore

This is the day I've been waiting for.

 

 

This site is being made in the memory of my son Drake Alexander. He was born on February 1, 2006 with microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism (which means his brain did not develop past the gestational age of a 10-15 week old fetus). He went to heaven on Febraury 5, 2006. Drake was 3 lbs 12 ounces and 14 1/2 inches long. We were glad to have the 4 days we had with him, but we love and miss Drake so much.
