A Blessed Son

He was so wonderful
The best little boy
all blonde and blue-eyed
a heart of gold

She was overcome with happiness
when she brought him home
and slept with one eye open
for all the years to come

He grew so cute
and so sweet his heart
he loved his family
with all his might

He dreamt of football
and of being a star
He wanted to spread happiness
and his undying love to all

He would often buy gifts
how he loved to pick them out
he would give with such joy
each one from the heart

She watched over him with pride
each step of the way
and worried like a mom
more and more each passing day

Then one day
all his dreams came to an end
she couldn't bear to watch
as the light in his eyes dimmed

Now she sits up all night
and wonders where he could be
is he hanging out with druggies
or hurt and in need?

And she cries to herself
and refuses to let go
Will he ever return
this little boy she loved so?
