Here it is: To Scott from Mom and Dad We read your poem with sorrow, As tears fell down our face, We read your poem with sadness, For no one can take his place. We read your poem in silence, Thinking of things that might have been, If only we would have had the chance, To do them all again. There will be a time for your heart to mend, We know not where, we know not when, You will kiss your son and hold his hand, And then you will know you are the same again.

To Scott from Mom and Dad

We read your poem with sorrow,
As tears fell down our face,
We read your poem with sadness,
For no one can take his place.

We read your poem in silence,
Thinking of things that might have been,
If only we would have had the chance,
To do them all again.

There will be a time for your heart to mend,
We know not where, we know not when,
You will kiss your son and hold his hand,
And then you will know you are the same again.
