William my beloved son with your ginger hair,
and your beautiful face.
Your illness took you at an incredible pace.
With your tears in heaven and the grief on my face,
I am happy to know that you are in a much better place.
There are no words that can ever truly explain
the feelings I have or the sorrow, or the pain,
you will forever be my guiding light, my shining star,
and the angel’s delight
If I could have had just one more chance to see you smile with one more glance or just be with you for a little while.
To hold you tightly or go that extra mile
I wish that God had let you stay if not forever then for just one more day. If you saw me in heaven,
would you know my name
would things be different or still be the same
would you hold my hand if I reached out to you
to tell you I love you is not a hard thing to do
I must live with the fact you are gone
You can rest assured that my heart will go on
You have your wings and you must fly
goodbye my son your dad needs to cry
I LOVE YOU SON GOODBYE
