To My Special Son Read by Melvina Credell It’s sometimes hard to know why some things happen as they do For so much joy and happiness was centered around you It seems so hard to comprehend that you’re no longer here But all the happy memories will help to keep you near You’re thought about with each mention of your name Death cannot change a single thing the love will still remain My heart has been left broken since the day you had to go And the memories I treasure dearly are in the tears that flow You’re in my thoughts every day and that’s how it will always be For you are up in Heaven now but you’ll always be with me
