Best Sonwords Poems
On this beautiful day
For all of a whole eight hours
My little boy I place
Dear Teacher, with trust in these hands of yours.
Teach him dear Teacher
The right way to grow
So when he is older
He will know the way he should go
By example, dear Teacher
In words that you say
By things that you do
Dear Teacher, show him the right way.
Graciousness let him see
And gracious words let him hear
Not the rude, the nasty
Keep belittling away from his ears.
Show him how firmness and love
Can difficult people or times gently handle
That screaming and beating
Become only a bully’s poor saddle.
I tell him dear Teacher
Solutions are thought
But the cane at school dear Teacher
Tells him by violence they are bought.
Dear Teacher of my little boy
Do please take care
To you he is one in a forty
To me he is one in a one, only!
MY FAMILY JUST HEARS THE WORDS GOOD- BYE
I WANT MY FAMILY BACK
MY HEART HAVING A ATTACK
I KNOW WE BOTH DID WRONG
BUT MY LOVE ISN’T GONE
I’M TRYING TO HOLD ON
I DRIVE BY JUST TO SEE YOUR CAR
I WONDER WHERE YOU ARE
I DON’T HAVE A FAMILY WITHOUT YOU
TEARS FROM BROTHER AND SISTER
PAIN INSIDE FROM ME AND YOUR GRANDMOTHER
MONTHS GO BY AS I LAID IN BED AND CRY
MY FAMILY JUST HEARS THE WORDS GOOD- BYE
HOW DO I GET UP AND GET ON WITH MY LIFE
CAN I GIVE YOU ONE MORE TRY TO MAKE IT RIGHT
I WANT MY FAMILY BACK
I WAIT FOR YOUR CALL
HOLD ON WITH WHAT I GOT LEFT IN YOUR PACK
I REMEMBER WHEN YOU COUNTED ON ME
NOW YOUR 18 AND FREE
I THOUGH I COULD DO IT ALL WITHOUT YOU
THAT’S WHAT YOU SAID TOO
MONTHS GO BY AS I LAID IN BED AND CRY
MY FAMILY JUST HEARS THE WORDS GOOD- BYE

SON KYLE
Sweet things have happened to me
But the one I most recall
And as of today, I'd have to say
The sweetest of them all
Is when my dear son said to me
Just weeks before he died.
"You've been the best mom in the world."
I was so touched I cried.
We had no inkling he was ill,
I think God prompted him
To say those loving words to me
Before his light went dim.
He couldn't have known how his mom
Would treasure every word
And keep them close within her heart,
Sweetest words she'd ever heard.

(This is a true story. I don't know if he felt it was the right time to say it or if it was all God's
doings)
