Thinking of you and your sweetest smile
I close my eye for just a while
Your love of gum and how you chewed.

I think of times spent at the park
And how you will try and stay until dark
The time you tried the Balance Beam
All by yourself, falling off with a laughing scream
Or, the many times I helped you along the Monkey Bars
though you were so strong.

The way you would scream going down the slide,
hands in the air, like a stampede ride.
The way you ran around a tree yelling;
“You can’t catch me daddy”
I think of the nights you would try and stay up late
The many stories that we would read
And how you will roll around in your bed

What I wouldn’t give for one more night
To tuck you in all nice and tight
I will give you kisses and sing our songs
And tell you I Love You, and to be strong
I will tell you not to worry, and that we are all OK
And even though I wanted to; I couldn’t make you stay.
So take my word here and now
I MAKE THIS TO YOU MY SOLEMN VOW
“FOREVER SHALL WE LOVE YOU AND KEEP YOUR MEMORY
UNTIL THAT DAY WE MEET AGAIN!”

YOUR LOVING FAMILY
