My sweet boy
Dedicated to Alex my son 10/20/2000-5/17-2017 may he Rest In Peace.

You gave me 16 1/2 years,
Much of it fill with joy some with tears.

You beat odd after odd against you,
Only you knew what you would do.

From afar so many deeply miss you,
What this momma would do to be able to hold you.

Your laughs and smiles sucked people right in,
Once you had them you had no intention to release them again.

Your unconditional love was like no other we've seen,
Anger and hatred you disliked getting between.

You were happiest making others happy and full of joy,
That and so many other reasons made you who you were my sweet boy.
