September 26, 2010 So many years now that you’ve been gone, Yet always you’re in my heart. I wish that I could understand Why it was you had to depart. I often wonder how you’d look now-- This year you’d turn twenty-one-- And I wonder if you’ve continued to age In heaven, my precious son. I miss the sweetness of your smile, And I wish that I could touch The softness of your hair and cheek. Oh, my son, I miss you so much! How I miss the talks we used to have And the games we used to play! Life’s not been the same, my precious son, Since you left that terrible day. I went out to your grave today And left flowers, balloons and such, I thought of you and I prayed a while— It doesn’t seem like much. But it’s all that I can give you now, When you’re in heaven so far away, I don’t even know if you can hear The words I’ve tried to say. I’ll never know the special joy Of seeing you full-grown, But I’m thankful for the years we had And all the joy we’ve known. And I look forward to the day I’ll see you at heaven’s door— The day I’ll get to hug you again And be with you forevermore! So, happy birthday, my precious son, Whom I love eternally. Though today you’re turning twenty-one, My baby you’ll always be. Written with love for Rose and Leo by Saralyn McAfee Smith September 26, 2010 Thank you, Saralyn, Robbie's Mom, for this lovely gift!
