Lovingly Remembering You… 

Remembering your broad happy smile

 Most often spontaneous at other times shy

As you opened your eyes wide

So sparkling and blue like the sky

Conquering our heart

From the very first start.

Your birthday on the 26th of May I will never forget

So, too,  the fun and laughs as a young family we had

Especially, when you as a young troubadour   

With your sister and brother made  your first song debut 

In a trio sing-a-long song of   

“Shiver me timbers”

Which recording we send across the miles

To delight Grandma’s and Anita’s place

Resulting in an overseas visit to Canada’s lakes.

As a baby,  toddler and teenage lad

you were a merry and handsome sight

Tall and slender and computer bright

I wanted to buy you a computer and help with your business idea

I still see the beautiful turning spiral spheres you made

So sorry you had to wait

By destiny the business package arrived too late.

When the leaves and flowers gently sway

And I walk through the gardens I see you play

Street hockey, skateboarding, performing stunts on your bike

You were a busy teenager and devoted car tyke

Helping me rake leaves in the fall

Always running up to me with a smile

Remembering you brightens my daily life.

Love you, always!

With God’s Blessings May you Rest in Peace

We will meet again!
