The Garden We Needed

Under the willow tree... 

The scar remains to this day

It reminds me of you

He was a beautiful boy

I could not have loved him more if I had given him life myself

I knew him as a child

I knew him as a man

I knew him as a father

He was my boy

He was a jokester, his smile lit up the room

Standing in our kitchen... dancing, laughing... 

doing the sprinkler, chain saw, lumberjack.

We had a wonderful, laughing time when he visited

Midnight swims in the pond

Adam was a beautiful person, caring and loving, he was a precious human being

He owned a piece of my heart

His untimely death takes with him a piece of my own

A needle ended it all

I have traveled a lifetime with Adam, from child to man. 

I was always there when he needed me. Through good and bad, right and wrong, he found a safe haven here in my home, in my my heart.

Rest in peace my precious boy. I will love you forever, and you I'll see you on the other side
