More poems about Our Son
FOR DAVID
There will be an empty feeling within each
aging heart,
For dear David you and dad and I will be far,
far apart,
Far away across the sea a noble task to willingly
perform,
And there will be good feelings of comfort
that are warm,
For we know this is the Lord will and we still
have the family,
It is you who will be lonely and you will bear it, oh,
so nobly ,
We will remember all your kind and loving
ways each day,
The way your honour your covenants along life’s
busy way,
The love of your family, the wise use of the talents
given to you,
The good way you treat all people are caring in
all that you do.
We will not say goodbye for we know that we will
meet again,
And long to meet the little treasure and so another
grandchild gain,
Thank you for being a son always worthy of your
honoured name,
We know that because of you we will never bow our
heads in shame.
Thank you for the love we feel flow freely and being
willing to share
All your kindness and virtue and knowing that you are
always there.
