My One and Only Son

Hello my Son,
it's me, your Dad.
Let's talk about things,
as if we always had.

I'm sorry you could'nt stay,
I know you had to go.
Although I was afraid,
I honestly loved you so.

You're with The Lord now,
you play by His side.
An angel in His kingdom,
a star in the night sky.

As I keep you in my heart,
while you watch over me.
Tell God I need His blessing,
to be the man He wants me to be.

So till we meet again in Heaven,
where our time will have just begun.
Save a place for me by your side,
My One and Only Son......

Chris, I'm coming back to this one again... The first time I stopped by, I was moved to tears. I'm a little stronger now. It is a blessing, in knowing and feeling what is right. Having angles waiting for us. . Hope you had a wonderful Christmas with family. - Always* Linda
