That you grow strong and tall
keeping your child-like spirit
your heart filled with love and wonder,
I wish
That you have music and good times
That you are loved and cherished
I wish that sunshine fill your days
And peaceful dreams the nights
I wish for you to know your beauty
And your worth...

But now, mostly I wish
you were still with us,
my beautiful son.
We lost our oldest son to a brain tumor almost eight years ago. On one hand, it seems an eternity, the other a split second in time. I have a sweet picture of him at about 4 years old holding and blowing the seeds on a dandelion. Would love to be able to post with the poem!
