A Very Special Lad

When evening shades are falling, I sit here quiet alone, In my Heart comes a longing, If only I could have you home, Its lonely here without you, my life is not the same, How I wish that I could see you, & hear you call my name.
To love you was to have you, To lose you is my pain. But you will stay within my heart, until we meet again.
I Love & Miss you Leon with all my heart.
MUM
