Forever September

Daddy you entered this life One September day As a cute little boy With your siblings you did play Many years later When I finally came along Adopted, I may have been But, to you and Mama I did belong I remember many things You lovingly taught me You have been gone nine years In my mind, your face I still see Your favorite season was autumn Not too hot or too cold The colors of the leaves You loved to behold Maybe, autumn was your favorite Because it was the season of your birth Maybe, it was because you loved to see Leaves fall upon the earth You gave your heart to God, one night As we put up a Christmas tree You were ecstatic with your salvation For you knew one day, Heaven you would see In pain you had asked For us all to pray God would send the death angel To take you away You left this life On a warm July night As your spirit was set free For its heavenly flight Daddy your love and lessons I will never forget I imagine your face was aglow When your Savior you met The happiness autumn brought you I will always remember I hope that in Heaven for you It's forever September This poem was included in Whispers of the Soul Christian Poetry book five of the Heart and Soul Christian Poetry Collection by Esselle Davis (pen name I use)
