Christopher

A year ago, three words shattered my life

I couldn't believe you were really gone

Ever since that heavy, tragic day

I find myself fighting for the will to go on

It is so hard to breathe, it's hard to exist

In a quiet house where you are so deeply missed

Christopher, no one could ever take your place

I miss your infectious laugh and your sweet face

Your funny jokes and your beautiful heart

Lord knows it's tearing my spirit apart

I'm thankful you are resting at Jesus' feet

But I selfishly want you here, now, with me

I look back to when you were nine years old

A Christmas memory more precious than gold

You glued your ears together, dressed up as an elf

Walked down the driveway, so proud of yourself

Waving at the road, shouting "Merry Christmas" out loud

My loving, kind boy, you always made me proud

Christopher, no one could ever take your place

I miss your infectious laugh and your sweet face

Your funny jokes and your beautiful heart

Lord knows it's tearing my spirit apart

I'm thankful you are resting at Jesus' feet

But I selfishly want you here, now, with me

You were so protective, humble, and smart

Truly a man after God's own heart

I know you wouldn't want to see me so sad

But you were a part of me, the best I ever had

I trust the Lord, I know His plan is true

But I am counting down the days until I'm with you

Oh Christopher, no one could ever take your place

I miss your infectious laugh and your sweet face

Your funny jokes and your beautiful heart

Even though for a while we have to be apart

When God feels it's time for me to finally go

I'll see my sweet baby boy, this I know

I miss you, son, and I will love you always

Forever, your momma, to the end of my days
