My Son

Danny

You came into the world one day
a few short years ago
We wrapped you up in arms of love
and you began to grow.
You learned to walk, and then to talk
when you were very small
We watched you dazzle with a smile
you gave to one and all.
You learned to care 'bout others
and often showed them how
We saw with joy and pride so great
and often remember now.
You worked so hard at your books
because they were so tough
We tried to help you as we could
and hoped it was enough.
You treasured every single friend
be they young or old
We could not help but think
you had a pot of gold.
You filled the world with sunshine
a bright and shining light
We held you high for all to see
and knew that you were right.
You left one sunny day in June
when you were just half grown
We knew God sent an angel down
to take you to his home.
You could not be forgotten son
as if we'd ever try
We try to see the love you left
even as we cry.
You wait for us with God we know
for us to join you there
We live our sadder lives on Earth
and find you everywhere.

Love You Forever And A Day!!
