Thomas passed away last June
And I'll be following him soon
Junior will be left here all alone
Oh how it worries me so

Jesus sent him to us late
An angel to brighten up our day
Who will tell him stories and sing him bedtime songs
Who will pray for Junior when I'm gone

Sometimes I can't help but cry
When I look into my Junior's eyes
He reaches out and takes my hand
I know he doesn't understand

A mother's love a son will sorely miss
I've made my peace with everything but this
But that's the thing that keeps me hanging on
Who will pray for Junior when I'm gone

Suffer the children
This is my plea
Oh Lord could you keep him
In the shadow of your wings

Lord forgive my asking if it's wrong
Who will pray for Junior when I'm gone
