I think the most defining moment I recall,
was losing my son, and watching him fall.
I had seen him just the day before,
he said, "I love you" as he went out the door.
It was that evening when he gave me a call,
with no indication he was upset at all.
The next morning my phone rings,
asking where was Adam, he left some things.
His girlfriend explained that he was gone,
and then she screamed "Oh my dear God"
there's somebody out lying on our back lawn.
I threw down the phone, drove as fast as I could,
my heart told me that this wasn’t good.
I jumped from my car to the lawn I find,
when I seen him, I had wished I was blind.
It was an early spring morning
in the woods at the end of the yard,
his girl crying "he left this note & ID card"
There my son, with a shotgun at his side,
with a tear in his eye, before he had died.
I could do nothing but hold him and cry,
as I said a prayer, and I kissed him good-bye.
That moment he died my heart went with that boy,
everyday I wake up, I no longer find joy.
I think of him often, I feel him in the breeze;
I can almost see him there, rustling in the trees.
The picture on my desktop seems to smile,
as I look at it everyday, I daydream for awhile.
You asked me to define a time,
when I remember this day, it seems so sublime.
