If He Still Had a Voice

(a friend of mines son died some years ago while out with his dad working on the rubbish truck)..

IF HE STILL HAD A VOICE..
The day the angels came, i didnt then know why,
Untill i saw my fathers eyes, as he began to cry,
I had to tell you dad, that i was not alone,
My family that had passed,  just come to take me home,
There is no shame in being the best dad that u can be,
You are my inspiration, the man inside of me,
Mum, youve always been there, my place to land incase i fall,
Dad you taught me pride, to be strong and stand up tall,
We are parted for short time, ill come get you when its right,
Nothing can change gods timing, noone wins that last fight,
Everytime you shed a tear, i too stop to cry,
But even if we got the chance,...could we have said goodbye??,
When you think of me now, please smile and dont be sad,
For now i am the angel, for both my mum and for my dad,
I am with you every waking hour, and i watch u as you sleep,
Waiting for u to heal the pain inside, I know u both still keep,
Now is NOT the time to follow heartache to get you here,
For i need you to keep on teaching, im still listening i still care,
I hope that in time, to each other you will be,
All the greatness and the good you both installed in me,
I thankyou for my life, for the laughter and the fun,
I will cherish you both foreva,  your devoted loving son.
