As I Remain In Honahlee...



Once I had a little boy, I held him in my hands.
I told him that I loved him and that Daddy understands.

I knew everyone of his expressions, of joy or of pain.
I knew all his favorite toys and played all his favorite games.

I always had an answer to each question that he had and only God was more important than his Mother or his Dad.

I told him that I’d be here and my words were very true. For now that he’s become a man, that’s all that I can do.

While I truly am excited and so proud of the man that he’ll be; I will miss that little fellow as I remain in Honahlee.
