Dear Son My Only One
D ying without warning those three sad years ago
E ven now I truly can't believe son that you had to go
A lone am I since you and dad both died so many tears I've cried
R eally should have been me son for you were truly far too young
S on I wonder did you get a call to say ‘twas time to go
O n that sunny Friday morning you were taken without warning
N ow each day my broken heart asks why he called my only son
M any tears we all have shed for now you’re gone for now you’re dead
Y our loving wife and son and daughter leaving them has changed their lives
O nly loving memories left for you my son were called too soon
N ever did we ever know that on that Friday you would go
L ooking back remembering a truly unreal situation
Y ou had gone our hearts and souls were oh so full of devastation
O n that sunny Friday morning you were taken without warning
N ow the three year anniversary since that fateful sunny day
E ven now how can it be three years ~ our tears don’t go away
