2 Years

I can’t believe it’s been two years
Since you left us all behind
Today I sit and miss my boy
You’re all that’s on my mind

If you could only visit me
I know that I’d feel better
Oh the things that I would say
The things we’d do together

You’re baby brother is growing fast
He gave us such a scare
But looking back, I know for sure
His big brother was right there

I think of all the happy times
The things I took for granted
The holes you helped me dig out back
The little plants we planted

You always were there by my side
You were my little man
And now, oh what I would do
To only touch your hand.

We’ve had our share of challenges
Since you have gone away
But, still we seem to make it through
To live another day.

As you look down and talk to God
I ask one favor Mister
Tell God to help to keep us safe
Especially, your brother and sisters
