In Memoriam of:
DAVID MICHAEL ROUTH
June 18, 1985-
September 29, 2004
One year has come and gone
If I had known you would never come home
I would have kept you here one more day
I would have told you all the things I needed to say
I would have held you in my arms all day
I would have kissed your cheeks until you turned away
I would have recorded your voice for my own selfish need
I would have taken a camera full pictures just for me
There is no word in our language that can even describe
The pain of losing my son from my side
I miss you each and everyday
Handprints on canvas
Hats hung on walls
Pictures Smiling down on me
Memories in my mind and heart
These all gazed at when my day starts
You were my first born and now you are gone
Someday we will be together again, where we belong
You are deeply missed and loved by all that love you
~Mama, Gerald and Tiny~
