Rusty
by Jeff Simmons.........................................
I remember our first meeting.
The snow deeper than you, but you trudged through.

I turned around and saw your tiny body in ankle deep snow.
I knew I would bring you home.

The years had tough times but I never had more love.
I will never love like I loved you.

You almost left me when you were but a lad, but you perservered and bounce back.

I thought you'd bounce back from what made you so weak, it was not meant to be.

That day my heart broke into a million pieces and those pieces will never mend.

Remember my dear boy, my heart is and always shall be yours.

I wait anxiously for you to find me now, I fear you cannot or will not and it breaks my heart even more.

Please let there be a place we will someday be together, I can only hope.

I hope in this place you are on a throne, greeting others into this new home.

One day look for the gates to open and run to me Rusty, I will run to you faster than I have run before.

God Bless you now and forever.
