My son was not just a son to me
He was so much more then that
We went together everywhere
And I’d strap on his back pack
He shopped with me and help me cook
Always by my side
He was my best friend
In him I could confide
Our normal days would be to wake
Come down to watch tv
Or head to Childrens hospital
When he had friends to see
Those days that we were there all day
The day was so routine
We’d check in with ms Sara
And update his picture screen
Next he’d do his vitals
Then head to an infusion room
I’d order pancakes and bacon
And it would be there soon
I then would line up all his cars
and set up his iPad
Don’t ask him what he’s watching , it really made him mad
No matter why we’re there that day
He was always strong and brave
He didn’t complain or fuss too much
He was just not that way
An easy going little man
a heart so pure and true
He had enough love to give
to everyone he knew
A gentle soul who was so kind
Would give comfort when you were sad
And tell you …don’t worry , and pat you on the hand
He would tell you it’s ok
Where did he find his strength?
With everything he has to do
You’d never see him break
The times that he was feeling well
He played tee ball in his yard
Or sing his songs and dance about
And strum on his guitar
Music for him was so much more
Then lyrics and a tune
He felt it deep inside his soul
It brightened any mood
You see his eyes and his bright smile
Infectious is what it was
He’s the best cuddler ever
And gives really great hugs
No matter where our journey lead
He held his head up high
Never asked us questions
He never would ask why
He trusted me as his mom
To always keep him safe
And that is why this hurts so bad
I can no longer hold his face
I’d kiss my boy a thousand times
For me it was never enough
He’d twirl my hair and nestle in
During times that he felt rough
I miss my son it hurts so bad
I want to hold him tight
I hope he knows how much he’s loved
As our angel flys tonight
