Son Had Been So Sweet
Son Had Been So Sweet
When my son died, it was such a surprise
And many, many teas came to my eyes
How hard I had cried and sad I was
Which is what every loving parent does.
Why would anyone take him from me?
Heaven is a better place where he can be
But still will miss him now that he has gone;
Had discovered he died just after dawn.
Maybe something different I could have done
To take care of and love my dying son
And of all those many things that I did
Were with love and God would not forbid.
He arrived in heaven and was never late
And now for me up there he will wait
At heaven's gate so me he soon can greet;
Here on earth son had been so sweet.
James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran
