You were taken too soon,
Before I was ready to let you go.
I never knew I would have to give you up,
And now I am glad I didn't know.
Your star shone so bright when you were here,
Such a special person that loved everyone.
I was sure that you would go far,
But Heaven was a little too far, my son.
I will miss holding you forever,
Until at Heavens gates we meet again.
When finally we are no longer apart,
And you with joy show me in.
For now I look to the sky, and make a wish-
That you go on a extra walk down the road for me,
And look at all the beauty of that place
Where God decided that you needed to be.
