For Love of a Child
For love of a child, a heart was stilled
A pledge to his son had been fulfilled
A promise that although apart
He'd be there always in his heart
For love of a child, a father gone
His baby left to carry on
Without his strong and caring dad
To share the times they should have had
For love of a child, he risked it all
To protect his little one so small
Gave everything that he could give
He died so that his child could live
