Your eyes are green as the grass.
Your friends love you as much as I do.
I’m going to miss the sound of your alarm clock
Buzzing each morning as you sleep through it.
Your voice with your daily greeting
“how’s it going?” and your smile
“how’s it going?” and your smile
Turned our days.
I wish I could have known you longer
So that we could have played baseball together,
Gone out to breakfast more,
And played tricks on our parents.
Planting a garden together and watching the caterpillars
Turn to butterflies,
We passed the days of summer
Your body growing from a wispy thing-of-a-boy
Into a strong young man.
Where did that time go?
I wish we got to know each other better:
That we could have played more games
And eaten dinner together and
you could watch me grow up.
I wish we got to know each other better.
That we could have talked about writing,
That I could have known you as a man
And watched you grow up.
Kyle, we’re so lucky we have such good parents.
Don’t worry, I’ll make sure they
Don’t get into trouble.
We love you very much Kyle and we miss you.
