Adam

I can still see you on that bicycle, popping wheelies in the street

Or skateboarding with Kyle, with the whole world at your feet

You always loved to look so sharp, dressed up and standing tall

But you'd take that Jeep out in the dirt and get muddy through it all

You were always so funny, just hanging out with your friends

Enjoying life to the fullest, right up to the end

Oh, Adam, life is not the same with you gone

I'm trying to show grace, I'm trying to carry on

I miss your tight hugs and your beautiful heart

My heart aches to see you while we are apart

I'll meet you in heaven when my time is done

But until then, I love and I miss you, my son

I think about our Colorado trip, looking out at the mountain peaks

The way you loved your niece Adi, and the gentle way you'd speak

I can still hear your voice at dinner, bowing your head to pray

I'm so proud of your recovery, and how you fought day by day

We'd go out shopping together, just spending the afternoon

I cherish every memory, you were taken way too soon

Oh, Adam, life is not the same with you gone

I'm trying to show grace, I'm trying to carry on

I miss your tight hugs and your beautiful heart

My heart aches to see you while we are apart

I'll meet you in heaven when my time is done

But until then, I love and I miss you, my son

You taught us how to love so hard, to cherish family

Now I'm looking for the peacefulness you always gave to me

If I could hear your voice right now, I know what you would do

You'd say, "I love you, Mom, and I'm sorry I had to leave you."

Oh, Adam, life is not the same with you gone

I'm trying to show grace, I'm trying to carry on

I miss your tight hugs and your beautiful heart

My heart aches to see you while we are apart

I'll meet you in heaven when my time is done

But until then, I love and I miss you, my son
