Joshua D. King

In loving memory of Joshua D. King, May 14, 1974 - June 16, 1989

Those we have held in our arms for a little while, we hold in our hearts forever.

As this date nears, my heartbeat slows as my mind speeds up.

Memories as fresh as today’s bright sunshine, threaten to overwhelm.

Love unused, not given, surrounds your picture.

If only we could have a do over and change the outcome, keep you home, keep you safe.

Keep you alive and here.

But is won’t happen.

All that is left to us is a hint of laughter, a wisp of the past, a longing that stays, and you in our dreams.

So we will always remember and we will always miss you.

Goodnight Sweet Prince.
