Never Let Go

by tubabassking   May 18, 2005


Sorry its long but please read.

Tears stained there eyes as they watched there son,
Having little time to experience his only perception of fun,
They remembered him rolling on the floor and laughing out loud,
His voice so joyful would send his parents to the cloud,

They knew he would soon be gone forever,
So they spent as much time as possible together,
Wanting to cherish every waking moment with him,
Feeling as if this was somehow a result of one of there sins,

Both of them knowing they can't do anything ,
But nothing can stop the depressing sting,
From the moment he was born they knew what was wrong,
The heart breaking reality that there son would never grow strong,

The doctors walked in and sayed that they must go,
Waiting for word the frantic parents swayed to and fro,
Remembering the times with him they had
Trying now not to get themselves too sad,

The nights they spent by his side,
The nights they went to the lord to confide,
Asking him only to spare his life,
Willing to give up anything including there own life,

Once again the doctors approached them,
Saying he had little time to live but they should be with him,
They walked over to see there son so small and frail,
All the tubes and wires struck there spirits like a nail,

They bent down to his side and whispered in his ear,
They told him that they were very near,
He looked up and smiled and told them something they should know,
With wisdom far beyond his age he said "Never let go,"

"Never let go of hope in life,"
"Never give up and resort to the knife,"
"Never give in to the words of sin,"
"And most of all never give up hope in HIM,"

With these final words said the boy rolled his head,
His parents knowing that he was now dead,
But something in them told not to cry,
For this young boy will never truly die,

His words will live on in there hearts,
Those words that showed he was more than smart,
Those words he thought every one should know,
Those words that started with Never Let Go.
