But God Has Other Plans For Us
Lupe Lopez


From the first day that you came into my world,
I’ll never forget how I held you close to my heart in a little curl.
I could still remember all your growing years,
There were many good ones, and yes there were the tears.
How I long to hold you close again,
I never wanted this to end.
If I would have known it was your time to go,
I would have asked God and pleaded to take my soul.
“But God had other plans for us.”

You’re gentle heart and kind words,
And I still remember that you liked to eat sweet and sour nerds.
You were loving and you were funny,
And when you scared me I had you running.
But there were times I waited behind the door to scare you,
And you always threatened that you would get me too.
And now I sit here alone,
Wondering if I would have left first, what would you have done?
I know my son you loved me,
And oh how I miss you but this isn’t how it was supposed to be.
“But God had other plans for us.”

Since you left, there’s not one day that goes by that you’re not in my mind,
I talk to you often, greet you in the morning, and how I long to tuck you in bed at night.
In front of family and friends, I put on my happy face,
But when I’m alone, the tears just pour and pour I feel them as they race.
When people tell me that I am strong,
I think, are they kidding me pretending as if there is nothing wrong?
I would never want anybody to go through this I ponder,
But this is my sadness, nobody will hear my thunder
I try to understand how could that be,
But why did this have to happen to me?
I still question God and ask Him why he took you away,
But you were here for a while He say’s that’s why you couldn’t stay.
I think I was left here alone for a reason.
I’m still trying to figure out why, after each season?
“But God had other plans for us.”

I have held you in my arms and done the best I can,
I pray that God will hold you close knowing that you were
My number one young man.
Just remember in my heart you are a special one,
and I will always proudly tell the world, "that you were my son."
Each and every day, I feel my heart that aches,
And that’s pretty much each morning as to how I wake.
“But God had other plans for us.”

I try to keep a happy heart and remember all the funny things you did,
Like when you made me laugh or told me something funny that you made my face so red.
There are tons and tons of great memories I’ll keep close to my heart,
I’m told that being sad is how you wouldn’t want me, nor to lose it or to fall apart.
But why so soon, I keep asking why,
God only knew that it was your time.
“But God had other plans for us.”

For now my son it’s till we meet again,
I will do all the right things so that in Heaven I’ll be welcomed in.
I know I cry and cry each day,
But please forgive me Son if I cause you any pain.
And when it’s my time to leave this world,
And everyone will say she’s gone,
I know my son you’ll be there waiting for me to say welcome home mom.
“And that’s the plan that God has for us”

I love you my son, my Rocky.
I miss you dearly,
Love Mom
