My Son--My Baby Boy

'Twas forty short years ago,
When, I first heard his cry.
This tiny boy with golden hair.
And large brown twinkling eyes.

Just forty short years ago.
'Twas a pleasure to hear his cry.
And the child grew to become such a man.
Only to die!
Only to die!

The grave now covered with leaves.
And flowers strewn about.
The headstone black that holds his name.
Forever I shall feel without.

He was the most wonderful son.
And so filled my heart with joy.
Oh how I miss, the man, my son.
The child, my baby boy.

Oh Strbbux, I don't know what to say. While I have not yet experienced this, I have written about this topic. I'm so sorry. I wish there was more I could do.

God bless America, my home sweet home.
