This poem is from the written story “Letters From Heaven”
My Little Boy:
I remember those smiling eyes, great attitude, and inquisitive mind.
I remember your curiosity, passion, vision, so caring and so kind.
I often think and imagine what your life will be like today.
A young college man, a family man, an honest man in every way.
At the end of the day, it is nothing but a dream.
My Wonderful Dad:
I am sorry I had to leave you without saying goodbye.
My Heavenly Father brought me home in the sky.
I know you could not be there, do not be ashamed.
You were working for our family; you are not to blame.
I have guided you through all your trouble and sorrows.
My Little Boy:
That day you went away, I prayed with all my soul.
As the weeks turned into years, it really took a toll.
You brother is a doctor, your sister is a scholar,
Your mother took some time, but now she’s doing better.
Are you still my little boy and did you become a man.
My Wonderful Dad:
I am just like you, dad, couldn’t ask for anything more.
I think that is why I was sent up here for.
That little boy became a man, with a loving wife.
You’ll be proud of my children; they are full of life.
I see the grey around your temples, but you have plenty of time.
My Little Boy:
I can feel your spirit shining down on me every day.
It gives my life new meaning every time I pray.
I am so proud of you for watching over me.
I wish you were here for all the world can see.
I will hold these memories for when we meet again.
My Wonderful Dad:
I am sad you had to see what this world has become.
I do not think I would have survived; I am not as strong as you.
All these years I watched over you to keep you from being harmed.
To guide you through this world of evil and bring you safely home to me.
Just keep thinking of me, and I will lead you home.
My Little Boy:
Thanks for sharing your life with me. Goodbye until the next time, Your wonderful dad.
My wonderful dad,
Thank you for not shutting me out of your life, Goodbye until the next time. You little boy.
