My Son Has Been Set Free
Sons hold a special
bond
That nothing
can replace
Their smiles
can chase the blues away
And brighten
up a face.
Joys we’ve
known, a special day
Shared between
us two
Secret talks
and peaceful walks
Just to name
a few.
Times of reminiscing
The day you learned
to crawl
Looking through
the photos
I’ve always
kept them all.
But one sad day,
the phone did ring
It tore my world
in two
A voice came
on the other end
“I have
bad news for you.”
The precious
boy, I loved so much
Was quickly leaving
me
So many things
we might have known
Will never come
to be.
Thoughts of him
are everywhere
I cannot let
him go
But somewhere
up in heaven
A star does softly
glow.
He sees a Joy
unknown to me
His face is full
of Light
They walk into
the Promised Land
God holds his
hand so tight.
Just as the shifting
sands of time
Flows gently
out to sea
Here today and
gone tomorrow
My child has
been set free.
