It is a Sunday afternoon, I had returned from church.
The afternoon is long and I felt something was wrong.
I read my Bible, prayed, and walked the floor.
I said to God, "God you don't love me".
I knew something was wrong, I got down on my knees and thanked God
For the day and all His many blessings that he has allowed in my life.
Then came the knock at my door, I looked at the clock
It was after midnight, and I saw a policeman and an neighbor standing there at my door.
The policeman said he had bad news for me.
I told him I didn't want to hear it.
After a time, I asked my neighbor if Jon was dead.
My neighbor put her arms around me, and then I heard the most devastating words I will hear in this life
She said, "Yes". I wanted to run, to hide.
But I knew in my heart if I started running, I would never stop.
I was told that Jon and his friend Ricky both drowned.
Jon was saving Ricky's son, Blake, and Ricky drowned saving my Jon.
I don't know why God took my son and Ricky that day, but
He knows and he will tell me one day when I am with my Jon again.
Blake and his mother have been able to find a happy life
But my world has stood still. My heartache will last forever.
I will cry silent tears forever.
But I still have my precious memories of the days when you were here,
And all the world was right..
I miss you a little since you've been gone.
A few little memories keep hanging on
I miss you a little, a little too much
A little too often
A little more every day..
Jon and Mom
The tears I cry aren't tokens
And my broken dreams not gold
You are the jewel in my crown of memories
Forever in my heart, safe from the cold..
