In Loving Memory
of
Sean Spalding

I held you in my arms, close to my heart.
Then, one day, the trauma of losing you
almost tore me apart.
After that, I knew the angels were with you
never to depart.

I watched you grow; each day I loved you more.
It was hard to imagine as you stepped out the door
and walked all the way to Uncle Bill's Store.

It was hard when the miles separated us.
Your drive to achieve was always a plus;
so off to college and the working world you went.
Success followed you with every marathon attempt.

Although you left home, you were never too far away.
AT&T got the money, but you made my day!
So many times, you knew just what to say,
"Everything's gonna be all right," you said in your special way.

A sweeter, kinder person you never could meet
For Sean, with a smile
would go the extra mile
to help a needy person in the street.
So much love he had to give
So much life he had to live...

The angels took you away on that fatefal day.
But, my love for you is here to stay...
Goodbye Sean.
