It’s a long road we travel.
You were left behind.
Perhaps I will see you again, in heaven.
A little angel for ever more.
When we first met.
I captured your heart.
Caught me by surprise.
So long ago it seems.
Your boyish looks.
Oversized army coat.
Shaggy, ruffled, sandy hair.
Eyes that smiled only for me.
Sexual discoveries, I am your “honey child”.
So delightful but short lived, why?
We were so very young.
I stopped loving you, that’s all.
And now you are no more.
Why couldn’t I protect you.
Now only a memory.
Yes, I will see you again in heaven.
A little angel forevermore.
