One year ago today, you quietly slipped away
Leaving your Mommy's arms
To be with Jesus for your days,
Meaning no harm
Unbenounced to us all,
as you entered this life,
Was an angel who would call,
hearts to fill with love and not strife
All in his way,
Saw life as it is,
Defined by God each day,
Not man's expectation but His
Wonder we saw,
each success you made,
celebrating with awe,
each moment not to trade
His plan was set,
Your days all counted,
Twenty months we would get,
To have your lessons all mounted
Not a day goes by,
Without seeing your mark,
As we look to the sky,
And see bright hope not dark
We love you Carterman,
And each day you are missed
But it is God's plan,
Eternal life is His gift.
We will see you again,
When our time is called,
We thank you little man,
Your lessons always will befall
Dedicated to my nephew,
Carter Matthew Abbott
