My lovely son, my pride and joy

A man - but still my little boy.

I miss you more than words can say

I will until my dying day.

You left us without warning

No time to say goodbye

No chance to say "I love you"

Once more before you died.

Memories of your loving ways

Lie deep within my heart

And though I cannot see you

We're never far apart.

I know we'll meet again someday

All I ask of you my son

Is please be there to welcome me

When my time on earth is done.
