For the life that was and the spirit that is. We will always celebrate the day you were born. We are forever grateful for the thirty-four years.

Where is my son, where can he be.

Playing with the puppies, beneath the oak tree.

Where is my boy, where did he go.

Running with deer, through pure white snow.

Where is my child, where has he gone.

Hes singing with the birds their morning song.

Where is my son, I miss him so.

Hes watching a new born baby grow.

Where is my child, where will he stay.

He will run with the wild angels when they play.

Where is my boy, how will he be.
Forever young, forever free.
