For Skylar
On the skateboard of life there were thrills chills, and spills
But most of all for you there was freedom.
The ramps seem like mountains to us
But to you they were every obstacle you faced and overcame.
Your life was a skate park of dreams
Your eyes were wide open when you were on that board
Those visions of Umpa and Grammy were all the protection you needed.
The you met Allana and man wasn't she a fresh breath of air
Your place in this world was becoming home.
Then it all changed
In a blink of an eye you were gone and our world ended
It all changed
No more smiles only tears
In those tears though was an everlasting imprint into the impact you had on all of our lives
You were a calm fishing pond in an autumn mountain landscape
You brought your family closer
You were a beeken of light in their ocean of uncertainty
You were just a boy who became that young man we all loved today
You may be gone for now but this far from an end for you
You will always be right here in our hearts
When any of us pass a skate park we will remember the good times and the love you poured into us while you were here on this earth.
We love you Skylar for ever and ever amen
