I really don’t understand what it means – your heart gave out.
You took good care of yourself.
You ate all the right foods.
You exercised, and that was good.

I’ve heard people say that you are in heaven,
With God and His angels.
But, I’d rather have you here with me.
I can’t see you from here.
Can you see me?

You’ve been gone one whole year.
I miss being with you.
You were my bestest friend.
And you always will be.
It makes me sad when I think of you
Not being here with me.

I’m growing taller
And running faster.
I miss playing baseball with you.
It’s just not much fun.
I hit a home run. 
It was just for you.

This summer was really long,
With you not being around.
You weren’t here to share my ice cream
Or giggle or watch movies or dream
About what we were going to do
This next school year.

I’m lucky I got to be your friend.
We got to be together until last Halloween.
I just wanted you to know how much I miss you
And love you.

I wish you were still here
To share stuff and
Be my friend.
When we meet in heaven,
We’ll share stories about what we’ve done.
We’ll giggle and laugh and run.
Until then …
