God gives us so much and sometimes it's hard to see
what needs to stay and what needs to leave
We think we know all there is to know
and then something happens that just goes to show
we are not in control of this great big world
not even something as small as our little herd
You see, God gives and He takes away
we just need to be thankful for each new day
that we have to live with our animal friends
and remember the good times that have now come to an end
God blessed us then and will do it again
His word says His promises are Yes! and Amen!
So until He chooses it is the right time to grow
we'll rest in the knowing that for now we have to let go
