| MY SON, STEPHEN The mold was meant to be broken When Stephen Allen was made. Our memories of him linger on, And will never ever fade. Unselfish with knowledge, So willing to always give. Why did he have to leave us so soon When he so wanted to live? Making decisions on his own, Being independent, tough and strong; Standing up for what he believed in, Where did things go wrong? All he wanted to do in life Was to share his hopes and dreams; To everyone he left behind, We feel so cheated, it seems. So now that you’re in Heaven, At your fishing hole in the sky; Save that big one for us to see, When it’s time for us to say “good bye”. Stephen, you left us so suddenly, Why, we do not know. Your memory will live on forever Because we’ll eternally love you so. |
| OUR SON AND BROTHER You were a blessing to us all, You were a special child. And we’re so glad God sent you. To be with us for a while. You filled our home with happiness And made our life complete. The time we had with you Was far too short, but oh so sweet. Some thing we don’t find easy To accept or understand. Till we realize they are part of Our Creator’s perfect plan. Now it comforts us to know You’re with the angels up above. While in our hearts we hold you close. Surrounded always by our love. Your family |
