Parents Love

I was on the phone one day
Talking to one of my friends
There is a beep on the line
A stranger is on the other end

They are at the hospital
But everything is fine
I told them I am sorry 
But this call can't be mine

I don't know who you are
Why are you calling me?
What is this all about?
Can you please answer me?

We have the right number
We have the right person
Your prayers have been answered
And Gods will has been done

They told me that my child
Will make it through the day
Now I am totally confused
Not knowing what to say

I told them that I am sorry
But my child died last year
So this must be the wrong number 
As I started to shed a tear

Will you please listen to us? 
Our child is yours in part
Your unselfish love is the reason
Our daughter has your child’s heart 

Our daughter wants you to know
Your child is very much alive
And that they both thank you
For together they will survive
