He's Gone - But Not Forgotten
He's gone, and I'll never see his face again;
One minute he was was here, playing, smiling........and then
In the wink of an eye - the flash of a car;
He was lifted above us -taken afar!
Gone to the place where we all hope to go;
All we can do now is continue with life and miss him so!
There's consolation in knowing he'll no longer feel pain;
He's free from life's worry- traveling a different lane!
The paths in Heaven are pleasant I'm sure of it;
And with strength from above, perhaps someday I too there will fit.
We who are left behind must bear what we've lost;
And contnue our lives - no matter the cost;
He'll never return to be hurt anymore;
But my pain has gone through me - right to the core;
Perhaps when I die, I will understand,,,why;
He was chosen by God so early to die.
Right now all I feel is the loss and the emptiness;
The pain of not getting his sweet good-night kiss!
Of the three that I had- and this is so true;
He was the only one to issue an unsolicited "I love you".
We had a special relationship - my Brian and I;
And the same question keeps coming back to my mind - - - why?
My poor baby had only just begun to live;
And he had so very much love he was able to give.
I spoiled him - it's certain, yes that I did;
He was my last baby - my very BEST kid!
I won't have another - for now I'm too old;
But maybe I'll meet him on that rainbow of gold.
I just hope that he'll pray for me now;
He's an angel, and I'm sure he knows how.
How to help his Mom, who misses him so much;
His funny little smile - his soft, gentle touch.
The way he would hug me for no special reason;
We loved each other through each and every season.
When I think of how close I came to giving him away;
I treasure our four years together - each and every day.
Though we didn't have everything everyone else had;
We had a love and friendship, and that makes me glad.
I just wished I'd been able to watch him grow to a man;
What would he have been like - I can't say - no one can.
I've been robbed of the opportunity to watch him grow;
To develop and change - how much I miss him no one will ever know.
He was mine - and mine alone - and now he is gone;
So many things he's just never known.
They say there's a reason for everything God does;
Maybe if I get to Heaven, I'll know what it was.
I love you Brian - now and forever!
