You Walk Beside Me, Every Day

+6

The days are long without you here,
I’ve sat and cried a thousand tears,
That cruel fate, did my life, destroy
And take away my lovely boy,
But you can wipe my tears away,
You walk beside me, every day.

The looming years that, more or less,
Just fill me with unhappiness,
Are speckled with some happy times,
When rainbows brighten up the skies.
I know you’re never far away,
You walk beside me, every day.

There will be anniversaries
And celebrations, that you’ll miss.
Oh, Adam, how we’ll miss you, then!
Your booming laugh, your cheeky grin,
But you’ll be there, you’ll find a way,
You walk beside us, every day.

Sometimes I dream that I’m awake,
And find it’s all a big mistake,
That you are here! You’re safe and well!
With hugs and smiles and tales to tell,
And in my mind I hear you say,
“I walk beside you, every day.”

The road ahead is hard and steep,
With hills to climb and furrows, deep,
And life will never be as good
As when you, here beside us, stood,
But we believe that here you stay,
You walk beside us, every day.

At night you gently touch my cheek
And memories are mine to keep
Of my sweet son, so deeply missed.
Since that first day, your head I kissed
Inside my heart, forever stay
And walk beside me, every day.

Love you forever, Adam, from mom xxxxx
