ASHES OF LIFE
Six weeks after my son was killed in an arm robbery his son Ashton was born. It was on his first birthday that I actually saw his father’s smile shining through him and it etched a place in my heart forever.
Tears of pain within my heart
Letting go, where do I start
What once was, is no more
All I want is to close the door
Build a wall to save my love
Lord tell me is he up above
Lost and alone to face the day
Will it be over, soon I pray
Lessons learned no longer needed
For his life I prayed and pleaded
No hope left its locked away
24 years my 1st born did stay
A smiling face burned in my heart on this day
As we celebrated his unseen sons 1st birthday
