My precious son, I have only gotten to know you for awhile, And with no warning you chose to leave, Although you are gone, I still see your smile, Your compassion, your spirit, your will to succeed. The joy you have brought me can never be replaced, So many obstacles, trials and tribulations you faced, And now I must say goodbye, as our paths must part. A higher calling, it will be all right, the things I say when I try to cope. I love you son more than life itself, And one day, sometime soon, I hope, That you will hug me tight and tell me why you left. I love you my precious son, Dad
