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
