My Son Shining Down

“My Son Shining Down” (by Michelle Lynn LeBlanc 11/04/2022) Dedicated to my son: Jayden Donald LeBlanc RIP: 09/04/2022 Today marks two months since you passed I've been trying to find joy again But it's hard to make it last I keep trying to find ways to plug through But nature is bittersweet now Because it reminds me so much of you But I won't let that stop me I'm getting out there, letting its beauty seep in While it may grieve my soul, it brings peace within I will remember your love and passion for its beauty How you loved to climb the tallest of trees And from your perch watch the sun turn the sky to ruby When you got your motorbike, you took it to Indian Mountain From there you loved to watch the sunsets And let its rays give you groundin' You loved to go for walks at night, when everyone else went to bed For there in the stillness you found peace of mind As beautiful stars loomed overhead You loved the ocean waves crashing on the shore And when there was a thunderstorm You and your brothers would be right at the door You simply loved nature in all its purest forms For within its embrace you found peace Yes, the key to navigate life's storms So, when I see the sun shining through the trees I will envision you My Son Shining Down on me With your smiles and laughter, your youth and vibrancy The impact you left on our lives will always and forever remain May we always find reasons in this life to press forward As your memories give us courage to find our dreams again!
