Simple Logic

My Son, David
Died at the age of 55
I find this hard to come to terms with
As I am still alive

I would have willingly changed places
With my Son, my precious boy
This man who means so much to me
He is my pride and joy

I find it hard to realize
My Son is far away
You may notice I've used present tense
Because he is with me every day
