Nathan

We visit this world
For only a moment
And that moment
Is known as life
During this time
We learn about laughter
But also of tears
We find more questions
Than we do answers
We experience the joy
Of new arrivals
And feel the sadness
Of loved ones departures

Theres many times we wish
That somehow we could utter
A secret phrase
That would hold the world
Suspended in time
Until we find a moment
That will be treasured forever
But unfortunatley people
Must go.
The day will soon come
When i can hold you in my arms
The lord took you
From my arms, remember
It will never be from
My heart.

In my lifeime that I
Have left to live, I will
Never forget what you gave to me.

I LOVE YOU
Tenee'





We'll Never Forget You

Our hearts go on aching
Perhaps they always will
The pain the families left must feel
Is even greater still
The loss of a child
Though not one of our own
He lived here and played here
As all who mourn him has shone
It's all of our duty
To keep every child safe
Wether out or at home
Wether or not they're our own
So to all who are caring
Please keep a watchful eye
If anything seems amiss
Then you must reach out and try
Let us not ever forget
For this town is our home
We'll protect all our children
FOR THEY ALL ARE OUR OWN!

His Smile

His smile was unique. No one
I have ever known in my whole life
has had a smile like his.
I mean you could be depressed
and look up across the room
and there he would be smiling at me.
You could never get mad at him
because he would look at you and smile.
When Nathan died
he left me something very special
his smile.
And as long as I live
I will never forget his smile.
Nathan may never get to smile again but
As long as I'm alive
I will smile for him!
