Your in me
Blessing you send me
My love for you is cemented so deep
I couldn't disappoint you and cause my eternal sleep
Inspires me to move forward grasping feats
Resilient detaching grief
Taught me my mind is my greatest weapon now remove the sheath
Baby boy you called when I was held in ya arms
I was sheltered from harm
Provided me wisdom now ignorance  is foreign
Physically vanished but spiritually you're never gone
You gave me high expectations
And I'll be damn if I break them
Writing is this is hard because I can't find the right words
At your grave sight grows roses and flies birds
Casket lowers tears splurge
As the pastor reads a biblicAl verse
And memorires ressurrect
You taught me valuable lessons I'll never forget
You made feel I was bound for success
Nobody can stop me I'm my own biggest threat
Greatest memory
Is when you were declining mentally
And didn't have the ability
To make out any family
I didn't want you to forget me so greeting you I tried to avoid
But my heart filled with joy
When you said baby boy
I don't smile often
But that brung a smile as they buired you coffin
I have your intense personality
So real I'll straighten a person reality
Long ago assisted in satin fatality
Gave me life goals now give me the tally sheet
Now watch As I rally feats
You made a man who is filled with great values
Intelligent resilient , success bound too
Speak up for himself raises his volume
Never timid
So forever you'll always be mended
With my soul til the day I'm lifted
I'm just like you,
A mirror image

Values passed down to the son from the fahter, this is why he is never truly gone. Excellent but sad piece.
