Our Infant Son

You came into our lives
And it was a wonderful sight.
When you laughed, I laughed.
When you cried, I cried.
When you slept, I stared
Wondering in twenty years
Who you are going to become. 
Are you going to do something great with you life?
Are you going to the NFL?
Or are you going to settle down with kids and a wife?
Whatever you become
Whatever you do,
Your father and I will be right there
Pushing you to your fullest.
Not holding you hand,
Not telling you what to do or how to do it.
Just letting you be and finding your own path.
That was our dream
And now they are ruined.
Because one day unexpected,
You were gone.
I will never be able to hold you again,
I will never be able to hear you laugh.
I will never see you cry or watch you sleep.
We will never what you might have become.
So as we say Good Bye and lay you down to rest,
We ask you to watch over us and never forget us,
Because we will never forget you,
Our infant son!


Dedicated to my cousin-Logan David Seilar—July 06, 2005-October 06, 2005.
Will never be forgotten!

Mom

You’re so sweet,
I love you dear.
When I cry, 
You’re always there.
Holding me tight,
Telling me it’s alright
And saying the bed bugs won’t bite. 

I know I’m getting older,
And so are you.
But if I give you my word,
I’ll stay true.
And when I get my first car,
Don’t worry, I wont go far.

When I spread my wings and fly,
I know you and dad might cry.
‘Cause you baby is growing up
And you don’t want her to.
So mom, where ever I go,
What ever I do…
I’ll always love you!

Spirit Runs

I don’t know what to do,
I don’t know what to say.
If I think about it,
I might just go away.
I’m sorry for everything I’ve done,
I’m sorry for everything I did.
If this hurts your feelings,
I am sorry once again.
But this is for me,
This is what I have to do.
To get the devil out,
Even if it means hurting you. 
So once again,
I am sorry for everything I have done.
I’ll be in a better place,
Where the spirit runs.
