Paradise is now defined
enclosed within a space
for in the picture perfect
I can see your face.
I'll relive the memories
when alone sipping tea
the time I spent laughing
with your precious family.
I'll look upon the pictures
of the boy now a man
I'll hold back the tears
if possible I can.
For the time I missed
the years that slipped away
the experiences that made you
the man you are today.
I'll forever cherish
the memories we've made
the time we spent talking
late into the day.
Already I miss you
for soon you'll be gone
I hope next time
we're not apart for so long.
