Best Shawn Poems

My Son, Shawn (1967-1999)

He never calls 
Doesn't write a letter
No longer praises songs I pen
His home is on Higher Ground now
He just visits now and then...

A Letter To My Son  Shawn (1967-1999)

 You left so suddenly shocking all of us who loved you  
 We could not understand why God called you Home 
 You were so young and it seemed so unfair
 Yet I must admit this...

When you enter the ring.
You make all the girls stand up and sing.
When you walk the halls.
They all climb the walls.
When they see you walk.
They all begin to flock.
Your long hair and cowboy hat.
Makes them all want you bad.
Your muscles and body build.
Makes them all...

One of my dreams finally came true,
The very first day that I met you
You were so nice from the start,
It showed you have a big heart
You've been a great best friend,
And I don't want it to ever end
You continually give good advice,
While always being really...

I wish you had mercifulness…

All my life...all my life...all my life...

Don’t let go and stay close to me (I’m wanting you oh so badly)
I know I look like a disaster today, but I can’t get...

Shawn
(My assigned topic: Pet)

You nuzzled your heart into my soul.  
Tiny, cold nosed, and whimpering
Destiny intercepted.  
You, God’s gift to lighten my life, 
Could have been a junk-yard-dog.
Brave and ferocious like your mama.
Before you, days held no happenings.
Experience and friendships…ordinary –
When warm-furry you...

My little girl, those big blue eyes,
Could melt the coldest heart.
And at the same time
Warm a heart that's true.
And with those eyes, I hope someday
You find someone,
Who loves you just as much
As I love you.
I wish for you, my little girl,
That days are always bright.
I...

can't be mad at ya
cause we've come too far
you chose your life's path
shooting dope with no mask

like me drinking everywhere
but the fentynol got to you
trying to sneak into heaven
but heaven aint for the blues
it aint for people like me and...

Sexy, sexy baby, with chestnut eyes, under that cap
I love when you pull me into your lap

Sexy, sexy baby, with chestnut eyes, under that cap
I love when you pull me into your lap

You're my sexy baby
Don't say maybe
The way you run your fingers up and...
