Gone Till We Join You

M is for the young Man you became.
A is for the Ambition you gained.
S is for the Son we love.
O is for all the Occasions we shared.
N is for Never being able to hug you again.

What was in your head that we could not see?
You were becoming all we knew you could be.
We were so proud of your great outlook.
But why Dear Mason take the route you took?

One thing for sure our dear young man.
We promise we'll hug you as soon as we can.
We all miss you but we must endure,
Till the day we meet you, that's for sure !


In memory of my Grandson who passed away suddenly
 on his 21st. birthday this past September.

Thankyou so much. We all go through times that hurt and I am thankful to have PS to be able to express some of the feeling I hold...particularly the ones I don't always share with people I have close by. Thanks again.
