My dear, sweet boy. You would have been 18 today. You blessed our lives with so much love, and light that it will last until we meet again.

At your parting

You take with you

A piece of my heart

Yet ever dawning

The sun stays true

Its quiet hope imparts

Memories flow

Of  times we laughed

Of times we dreamed

Time stows

Moments sweetly graphed

Of  days warmly esteemed

I grasp not to sorrow

But the joy you left me

So journey now sweet prince

Across the distant sea

It was an honor and a privilege to know you
