Garret's Poem Poem by Michael Murphy

My son your the reason...why I'm so alive...
I see all the love in this world when I look in your eyes...
the day you were born was the day I realize...
that being a daddy's the most precious thing that could ever occur in my life...
these days may confuse you... but this much is true..
that regardless how long that we're kept away..
your daddy will always love you

I miss you severely...so dearly I do...
I hope that you think about me the same way that your daddy he thinks about you...
Nobody knows how hard this can be...
there'll come a day where nothing they say
will ever come between you and me...

you are amazing, so smart yes it's true....
don't ever let anyone say any different... they're all just in envy of you...
it will never matter how long we're apart...
your always on my mind, tattooed on my soul and
forever inside of my heart...
I'm sorry it's like this... forgive me if you can...
life isn't always as fair as it should and
Someday I hope that you understand...
for now please believe me....
we'll be together someday...
if it's the last thing I do I will be right there for you,
I am sorry that things got this way...
Garret I miss you...and love you soo dear...
I dream of the day where you and I play and
awake from this tragic nightmare...
you are the most precious baby boy ever born....
your laugh lights the darkness that haunted my soul
and your heart keeps mine nice and warm...
I'll never hurt you...
You mean the whole world to me....
MY SON you and I will forget all the lies..
just never lose hope and believe.
