On the day God took you
I prayed that I would die,
I wondered where the time had gone
And asked a lot of “why’s”.

No farewell words were spoken…
No time for our good-byes…
You were gone before I knew it,
Now I just feel alone inside.

I thought I must be dreaming,
That I’d wake and find you here.
This really isn’t happening!
As I wipe away a tear.

I miss your face, I miss your laugh,
I mostly miss your smile.
What I wouldn’t give to turn back time
And talk to you awhile.

So many things I wish I’d said
If I had only known.
So many times I cry at night
While feeling so alone.

I still re-call the memories
Of that last night on the phone.

I should have stopped to question…
And read between the lines.
But, I guess I always assumed that there
Would be another time.

My heart still aches with sadness,
And my secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you son,
No one will ever know.

I guess what troubles me the most
Is that I never said goodbye.
Jer…I miss you with all my heart
Why did you have to die?

I wish we’d had more time
Before your life was done.
I hope you’re resting peacefully,
My precious boy….
My first born son.

Love you for Eternity!
Until we meet again!

Love Mom
