I love you my son,
Your life just begun
And then you were snatched away

How can it be
You were taken from me
On that cruel and fateful day.

Our lives changed forever
Now you are gone
I just can’t believe it’s so

A beautiful man
With a smile so bright
Never to smile again

Your life once filled
With sorrow and pain
But you learnt to live again

You talked of the future
And what it might bring
And you learned to smile again

I will never forget the man you became
My son with a smile on his face
A man so special, a man so kind
That no-one could take his place

Life moves on
But it’s not the same
How could it be so
Without those words
“I love you mum”
Without you being near

You touched many hearts
And changed many lives
That we all agree
The cheeky smile
That lit up your face
That we will never see.

A life without you
I just can’t believe
Where is the justice in it all
The world’s a poorer place
Since it lost you
No beautiful smiling face.
