That Troy Boy

February 11, 2013

That Troy Boy

He was often called that Troy-Boy.

He toddled around like a little toy.

He seldom walked but trotted around,

Like Edith Bunker out on the town.
 

His round blonde head bobbing around,

Smiling when he came to my town.

I liked seeing that blond head of hair,

With a happy smile on a face so fair. 
 

Then that Troy Boy moved far away,

So I did not see him for many a day.

He was just a teenager of sixteen,

Not knowing what life would mean.

He wound up on a harsh path of wrong.

We know that he only wanted to belong.

Then suddenly his life crashed to a halt.

We did not think that it was his fault.
 

His mother mourns him, that we know,

Wishing her Troy Boy was home again,

Back in her life where he should be,

Instead of leaving her to carry this grief.

We think about him each and every day,

Wishing that he did not have to go away,

But his time was up, it was meant to be. 


Though for many years, we loved him so,

We knew that we had to let him go.

A short life was predestined for him to have,

Long ago, it was known he would soon leave.

Troy & Kareem

February 9, 2011

Troy and Kareem have been best friends for years. I was outside one summer morning, mowing the grass. Kareem came over to visit Troy and asked where he was, after politely asking how I was doing and telling me, "You're lookin good Mama". I told him he was in the house and he said, "why isn't that lazy boy out here mowing the grass for him Mama?" And proceeded into the house... about 2 minutes later, Troy came out and said, "here Mama, let me finish that for you," Found out later, Kareem went in there and jumped all over him about making me work while he goofs off! Both born on the same day Feb, 9th and Troy left us on Jan 29th, 2000 and Kareem left us on Nov. 27th, 2010

Broken Chain

January 31, 2011

We little knew that day God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you didn't go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Moved to Heaven

January 30, 2011

 

Moved to Heaven, not gone away.

Thoughts of you I have each day.

Gone to God in that silent land.

You walk with angels hand in hand.

 

All our dreams and all our plans,

No more to do, I understand.

Memories now rush my mind.

Up in Heaven, I know you’re fine.

 

If every tear we shed,

For you became a star above,

You’d stroll in angel’s garden,

Lit by everlasting love.
