An ode to the missing boy

An ode to the missing boy

22 April 2020

Life’s precious things

Come in various forms

Some take shape 

Some in memory form

Gifts of life

Can be big or small

A wonder boy 

Was greatest gift of all

Every precious time

Remained the shortest

To charm the soul

Yet left the memories

Never to depart

Lasting forever in heart

Can call this boy

Life’s three musketeers

All for one

And one for all

Can be the one that

Gave the life force

Or can be the one 

That seeded within

Or best can be the one

That vital source

Of life energy to sustain

Ironical is the time

That all stayed in life

For which boy can I sing

This ode of mine

Happiness is the source

the wonder boy memories

Little was the time lived

Lifetime is the joy

A special source of life

That can never replace

Whispers slowly within

thoughts of the missing boy

Strange are the days

That still survive

I don’t miss you my boy

For you live well in me

As long as I breathe

And remember to love

Never will be a good-bye
