I wrote this poem after my son was shot to death.
Tribute to My Son, A.J.

I am sorry that daddy could not be there to protect you from danger
I am full of grieve but not anger

For your life, the Lord had an intricate plan
It’s difficult to cope with reality and we still don’t quite understand

You taught me so much about love
I know now that you really were an angel from above

It is amazing how I am not a father anymore
My heart is heavy, and my soul is sore
It hurts deep down to the core

I was the first person to hold you when you were born
I hate that our father-son relationship was suddenly torn

I had so many plans for you, but my brother informed me that I was only chosen to be your earthly father during your brief stay
Nonetheless, my Heavenly Father had the final say

I am happy for you because you don’t have to suffer from anymore discomfort or pain
Nonetheless, your Mom, myself, and others must trust in the Lord to sustain
I can’t stop these tears from flowing like rain

God tests our faith by allowing certain situations to occur in life
We can’t doubt Him and fall into strife

We must realize that the Lord is in control
He is the One that has our soul
Sometimes we leave this earth when we are young or old

Sleep young prince because mommy and daddy will join you at a later time and date
For we all have an appointment with death, and we can’t be late


DADDY AND MOTHER LOVES YOU SO MUCH!!!
