In loving memory of my precious little boy, Joshua Michael Davis, who passed away 50 years ago. (No, time does NOT heal all).

I have lost a child,

I heard myself say.

And the person I was talking to,

Just turns away.

Now why did I even tell them,

I do not understand.

It was not for sympathy,

Or to get a helping hand.

I just wanted them to know,

That I had lost something oh so very dear.

I just wanted them to know,

That my precious child really was here.

My child left something behind,

Which nobody can see.

So If I have upset you,

I'm truly sorry as I can be.

You will have to forgive me,

For I could not resist.

I just wanted you to know,

That my precious Josh really did exist.

I would give anything to feel your little arms around me and for me to

be able to give you one more hug and kiss. You were my first and

taught me what true love really was and also taught me what heartbreak

feels like. Your sweet smile, laughs, hugs, kisses and love are

forever etched in my heart.

Until we meet again, a million hugs and kisses.

Forever loved and always missed,

Mommy
