When You Were Just A Boy

You may not remember this
My precious son
When you were a boy
Just a helpless little child
You were very sick
You were destined to die
Oh my son
How I almost lost you
Sometimes when you got scared
When I wasn’t there
To calm yourself
You took my collection of coins
To ease you
To play with you
To forget what you were going through
And this one
My precious son
This shiny one was your favorite
How I remember this
My dearest son
When you were just a boy
