My precious wife Kerry and mother to be
God sent you down just for me.
Knowing I'd adore and cherish you
The two of us our love so true.
God knowing I was incomplete
Sent you to share my life so sweet.
Adoring it was the dearest of times
Sharing a few years so sublime.
A perfect love in harmony
United in God by holy Matrimony.
I cherished the precious time we had
Now only to reminisce but not be sad.
A precious son you bore to me
To adore and cherish as I did thee.
But only for a few days was I to hold
For God said now I must be bold.
My precious son Austin, oh so sweet
God in his wisdom sent you to me
To love and cherish a sweet calm
But God called you home with mom .
God placed you here for just a while
In that you are my continuous smile.
A tiny blessing sent down from above,
A little bundle of joy wrapped up in love.
I'll always cherish the time we had,
For the few days I am so glad.
But God had other plans for you
Knowing your mother loved you too.
Times remembered will never be sad.
Forever I'll live the memories I have.
T'was wonderful joy you brought down,
When I think of you I'll never frown.
I Thank God for my two angels dear
My wife Kerry and son Austin I love fierce.
Only for a short time I had you to hold
Angels now carry you to heaven's abode.
