My Jody
My Jody left my world in May 2003
All I can say is..why did this happen to me?
Why could I not see?
My son only had so few years on this earth.
I savor each memory of him and now know it's worth.
My Jody was so young and so free.
Oh how could this be?
My Jody is gone to a place I hope to go.
On this I depend and want to know.
Wait and greet me Jody when that day draws near.
Your Momma loves you and holds you so dear.
