My Son Lives in Paradise
The dust has settled on the things
That I have stored away
A favorite toy, for little boy
A jar of dried out clay.
A photograph when you were young
Sits quietly on the shelf
Thoughts of you come drifting back
I just can't help myself.
A drawing that you made for me
When you were very small
Is framed within this heart of mine
And hangs upon the wall.
A scrapbook lies within the room
Where you once laid your head
Your favorite book, a model car
The pillow on your bed.
I miss you coming home from school
"Hey mom, "it's me, I'm home"
I miss the little words and hugs
The special times we've known.
A part of me just disappeared
The day you went away
An empty space now fills my heart
There are no words to say.
A closet filled with memories
Of happy days gone by
A baseball cap and souvenir
Why did you have to die?
I hear your voice within the halls
It echoes in the night
I see you in the evening mist
And in the morning light.
So many things you left behind
Are now a memory
But little arms that held me tight
Will always stay with me.
An empty space now fills my heart
My boy, my child, my son
You've gone into another world
Where golden dreams are spun.
I do not know the answers
It's not for me to know
But I will know the truth one day
Just why you had to go.
My turn will come to leave this world
I'll gaze into your eyes
God's perfect play will be revealed
Up there in paradise.

"I Dare Not say in what state of mind I am;
I love the Boy with the utmost love to which my soul is capable,
And He Was Taken From Me...
~
Yet in the agony of my spirit,
in surrendering such a treasure,
I Feel A Thousand Time Richer,
Than If I Never Possessed It.
William Wordsworth
"To Love Another Person Is To See The Face Of God"
Les Misarables
" Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye?
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end, the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain,
but I'd have had to miss the dance
Holding you, I held everything For a moment, wasn't I a queen?
But if I'd only known how the king would fall...
Hey, who's to say?
You know I might have changed it all
And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end,
the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain,
but I'd have had to miss the dance
Yes my life is better left to chance I could have missed the pain,
but I'd have had to miss the dance"
