My Son

Jennifer Marie

I will never forget that day...
I was pregnant, to everyone's dismay...
We were so happy, your dad and I...
We knew you were an angel coming from the sky...
The day came when you were born...
Such a beautiful baby, always adored...
Always smiling, laughing, never a tear...
Such an angelic smile, from ear to ear...
Then the day came when you got sick...
Mommy and Daddy were sad, but our bonds were thick...
We were right by your side, up til the end...
We not only lost our son, but also our friend...
