9 YEARS AGO TODAY
9 YEARS AGO TODAY
9 years ago today my angel earned his wings and flew away,
And it still hurts the same as it did that day.
He came too early, he just couldn't wait,
I fought hard to keep him but in the end it was already too late,
It hurts to remember,
That cold November.
This time of year shakes me to the core,
It is a constant reminder you’re not here anymore.
I never thought things would end the way they did,
No mother ever thinks they will have to bury their kids.
This is not how it was supposed to be,
You were not supposed to leave me.
Houston you came and went before I was ready to let you go,
Losing you took a toll on me, more than anyone will never know.
I know that we are not promised forever,
Oh but how I wish we was,
And even though you not here your still a huge part of us.
There has not been a day in 9 years that you have not crossed my mind,
And your brothers talk about you all the time.
And it hurts so badly when they ask me why did you have to go,
And Houston how do I answer them?
When I still don't know?
I know that you are sitting on heavens tallest hill,
Watching down on me, I know that you always will.
I know some day we will be together again,
I just don’t know when.
But I know some day I will hold you again and tell you how much I have missed you,
Houston I hope you know how much I love you.
I know some day I will no longer cry tears,
And I will be able to make up, all these lost years........
Happy birthday my sweet baby boy,
You will always be one of my greatest joys.
