To My Departed Son
He had too much against him.
I remember our walks.
By the fireplace we would talk.
You told me you felt alone
And wanted to run away from home.
A girl saw light within you.
Her love for you was true
Until her old beau stole her away
On a cold and dreary day.
I wanted to see you shine.
Then I got out of line.
I could not see your point of view.
Then I said hurtful things to you.
In your mind I put doubts.
The flame from the fire flickered out.
After you lost your true love,
You decided to go to heaven above.
