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
