In loving memory of our wonderful son and brother, Joshua D. King

May 14, 1974

June 16, 1989.

"Those who know the greatest sorrow have known the dearest joy."

The peonies bloom,

and in the gloaming,

fragrance fills the air.

I gather their beauty,

looking toward heaven,

wondering, can you

see them from there?

Do you know

I still remember

ones you picked for me,

keeping them fresh

till I reached home,

so that I could see.

I miss you Josh.

Your spirit lingers

to grace my dreary day.

But never more

than when peonies bloom,

your memory washing

the pain away.

You are so missed and you are still so loved.

Goodnight Sweet Prince.
