I Can Only Imagine
by Tom Murphy, Greater Cincinnati TCF, OH
In Memory of my son, Brennan Murphy

I can only imagine
What our hearts would feel
If that day had never happened
If your death had not been real

I can only imagine
What our eyes would see
If they hadn't shed a million tears
Pleading, Why you? Why not me?

I can only imagine
A happier life
One where all your dreams came true
You fell in love and took a wife

I can only imagine
What a wonderful father you'd be
What names you'd give your children
Would you be anything like me?

I can only imagine
If I'll live to see the day
When the mere thought of you
No longer takes my breath away

I can only imagine
If things had ended differently
A family of four, now a family of three
But the one that's missing should of been me

When our work is done
And our time to go has come
Our arms at last again will hold
Brennan, our beloved son

I can only imagine...
