My Son

Twilight draws ever closer
Through the window pane;
I look to heaven in hopes to see
Your smiling face again.

Memories, sweet memories
Are what keep you near;
These I treasure with all my heart--
I hold them all so dear.

Remembering the love we shared
And how it was taken away;
We never got to say goodbye
On that fateful day.

One day we'll be together again--
As I gaze up to the sky,
I thought that I could see you there,
Learning how to fly.
