Brandon… Brandon, our beautiful boy.
You gave us life…you gave us joy.
How could we know that your body
Was not perfect from the start
That those big engaging eyes
Would only shine for a short time
That all your dreams would not come true?
Brandon…Brandon, our courageous boy.
You gave us life…you gave us joy.
We loved you so hard and often wished
we could keep you close forever.
But you were meant to spread your wings
and extend to lives we never knew
Extend to hearts deserving of your love…
Deserving of your gift.
Brandon…Brandon, our witty boy.
You gave us life…you gave us joy.
How do we go on without you here?
The absence of your laughter… your jokes… your taunting
The emptiness we feel is impossible to bear.
Brandon…Brandon, our loving boy.
You gave us life…you gave us joy.
We are forced to accept that which shall never be
Like seeing your education complete
Or the start of your career
Or seeing you with your lifetime mate
And children of your own.
Brandon…Brandon, our beautiful boy.
You gave us life…you gave us joy.
We continue to try to understand
That God must have another plan
That our time with you was decided from the beginning.
So let us say “Goodbye” for now
and pray that one day we will once again take your hand.
