An angel home bound

Today a son is laid to rest
undoubtedly his parents test.
Their hearts will ache forever more
as angels knocked upon their door
To quickly take into embrace
and leave but memories in his place.
A son not more that 15 years,
today his parents will shed tears.
they'll do their best to comprehend,
a heart that God alone will mend.
Each beat of love and endless grace
each pulse with every bat and base.
Those dreams of years not meant to be,
for God had other plans you see...
but blessed they were to share his smile
To have him for a little while
to hear him laugh and wipe his tears
if only for those 15 years
His room with all his things remain
yet life shall never be the same
Embraced by Jesus at God's side
in heaven he will now reside
and as those left behind will cry
this day they bid their last goodbye...
the heavens will rejoice in song,
for now they're one more angel strong.
