My sons work

My son wrote this last fall for a school class

AJLH

When I was 10 I knew a boy who made me happy as can be

He was my cousin and he made me laugh

Laugh until I peed.

He was fun to be around

He always made me smile

He made me feel big and loved

He even let us play DOG PILE!

Then one night in the late of May

Last year in two oh nine

We got a call that dimmed the lights

And made us weep and cry.

My cousin was riding home to see his wife and son

A truck came by and did not stop

And now my cousin is gone

I saw him in that box

I hated to see him so

I cried at his funeral

I didn’t want him to go

I know that he is with me

He always watches me

Sometimes I remember how things used to be

Sometimes I even laugh

Just not until I pee.

I miss him.
