A Birthday Poem For My "Bobby"!

Seven Years ago a storm came in, on a clear and beautiful April day
My whole world came crashing down, when you left us
You just never knew how much you blessed us
Your friends, your family and me
Our hearts did bleed, when we the heard the news
Oh my darling son, for you I for one shall always sing the blues
Missing you during all four seasons
Never to understand the reasons,
Of the how can this be? or why?
So hard for me to find in my heart,
To forgive the drunk driver that took your life
It's a very hard thing to do, but I know
That if I want to be right with our Creator
I must forgive him, I just pray he learned his lesson well
Everyone says that he will get out there on the road
Perhaps to do such a terrible thing all over again
When he gets out of that jail
I pray day and night he will do what is right
I pray for his sobriety, I pray for his hindsight to be intact.
I pray perhaps to no avail
But I pray anyway!
Three years have passed and July is upon us
You were laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery
I like to think that you've gone home
This is the 3rd anniversary of our farewell
This is the month of your birthday
I want to wish you love and peace
Wherever it is you may be
On the other side
Semper Fi
