A Poem for Shaun

Our first Christmas without Shaun was a painful experience and I felt inspired to write a poem in his memory.

Shaun is With Jesus This Christmas

An empty stocking we hang this year
Our hearts are heavy
As we shed many tears
We relive every moment
All the times we shared
Our hearts touched forever by a gift so rare
Shaun is with Jesus this Christmas

Solid in friendship and loved by all
We cherish our memories
As our teardrops fall
A brother, a cousin, a nephew and son
An uncle, a friend
And a mentor to some

Such a beautiful smile
So humorous and smart
Always so giving
Of his sensitive heart
Shaun is with Jesus this Christmas

We'll always remember what a blessing he's been
And will miss him each moment
Until we see him again
No need to question why he was taken so fast
He served his mission
And was called home at last
Shaun is with Jesus this Christmas

In Loving Memory of Shaun
Written with Love
From Mother to Son
