Inside my heart is grieving
From when you left and we said goodbye
Your life was short but sweet
And only God can answer why

I loved you from the beginning
And my love has continued to grow
You're always in my thoughts
And forever I'll love you so

I cherish the time we shared
It's engraved in my memory
It's etched deeply into my heart
And will be for eternity

When my time on earth is up
And they lay me down to rest
We'll meet at the pearly gates my son
I'll hold you tightly to my chest

I've never and will never forget you
So until we meet again
Remember the last words I whispered
Sleep well, I love you Ben
