For a brief moment in time we were blessed with a
Son.
Dale My Precious son
You brought so much joy to our
lives
I see your smiling face in the morning sunlight
I hear your
soft and gentle voice when the birds sing
I feel you near
I will
not forget you
I will carry your memory in my heart.
THE
CHILD I CANNOT SEE
I miss the child I cannot see
And long for
him to be with me.
There is no way to touch, it seems…
Save only
in my dreams.
But, within my heart, there is a place,
Where I can
see his smiling face.
This child that has gone out of
sight,
Still lives today in bright sunlight.
He walks among the
trees, at break of day,
Through the grass, he makes his
way.
Picking flowers as he walks,
And to his horse, he still
talks.
Sometimes he rides high in the saddle,
Throwing ropes
to lasso the cattle.
Sometimes he rides up the hills,
Through vast
fields of daffodils.
Other times, he just walks along…
Sometimes,
whistling a happy song.
Within my heart, there is no time,
No
clocks to tick, chirp or chime.
There are no hours, days or
years…
Deep within my heart, there are no tears.
For all is there
as it had been…
A young boy, gone, lives again!

This roses represent
the joy and sunshine
you brought
into our lives
I'M FREE...
Don't grieve for me now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me
I took his hand when I
heard him call
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to
work or play
Tasks left undone must stay that way
I found that
peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with
remembered joy.
A freindship shared, a laugh. A kiss,
Ah, yes
these things I to will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the
sunshine of tomorrow
My life's been full, I've savored much,
Good
friends, good times, a loved ones touch
Perhaps my time seemed all to brief
Don't lengthen it
now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me
God
wanted me now. He set me free.
In Loving Memory Of
William
