YESTERDAY

It feels like only yesterday

As a toddler, the first time I took you to see the sea.

The sun was hot and the sand was cool

You ran after some birds into a huge deep pool

Then screamed till I dragged you free!

It feels like only yesterday

You gazed at the twinkling stars

And thought of the girl who`s hand you`d take.

I could see that you loved her with all your heart

And what a lovely pair you`d make.

It feels like only yesterday

You cuddled your two boys.

Christmas was just lovely as you played with all their toys.

They grew so fast but adore you still

Now they miss you so, and always will.

The Lord saw your pain and he promised me

He`d take you home and set you free.

It feels like only yesterday

Just as your life was starting.

All your wishes and dreams were at their best

But he had to carry you home carefully

He knew you needed to rest.

In my heart your memory is fresh and true

Andrew there`s not a day that I don`t think of you.

You had to leave so early, it`s really hard to bear.

It hurts to see the places you loved so much

Now you`re no longer there.

It feels like only yesterday

They told me of a special journey.

From this old world, to the new

Some day I`ll make that journey, I promise

Which will lead me home to you.

It feels like only yesterday

When we were all together.

The memory of those happy days

Time can`t wipe out ever.

You loved me so tenderly

To your picture I often speak.

But I can`t hear you answer me

And my resolve is just so weak.

In my heart your love will stay

Always fresh and true.

Because I know the day will come

When again I`ll be hugging you.

For my son Andrew 25/2/78.......4/5/09

I miss you sweety.
