POEM 12 : DEAR SON


 
Dear Son



The day You obediently answered God’s call

Is truly our saddest day of all

Watching You breathe that one last breath

An imprint in our memory, still very fresh



The question why, will always linger

Could God not grant us more time together

It seems like only yesterday, when You were born

It is hard to believe that You are now gone



Leaving us devastated and groping in the dark

While You chill out with God in His heavenly park

Laughing and playing with His other children

A beautiful sight to picture of Heaven



We got your message, we know You are here

The bond between us, is so very dear

You are constantly watching us, from far and near

We read your little signs, and we find them clear



That every little thing remind us of You

Your electric guitar especially, that is still brand new

We remember You playing it on the amplifier

You soon had to stop, when it somehow got heavier



We miss You more than we know how to express

God is surely putting your family to a difficult test

To send His message of love, He picked the best

For You clearly stand out, You have been blessed



Anointing You with the privilege of the highest kind

God called one day and said, “Daniel, it’s time.”

He waited for You patiently by His ocean shore

With open arms, He proved to us He loves You more



Today, we give thanks with a grateful mind

Though our hearts are shattered, God has been kind

Our souls are connected, but we still have to part

Until we are reunited, You will live in our hearts



Love, Mom
