Christopher Michael Hodge
Dear Dad
I'm asking my Mom to write this letter
As you read it, I hope you feel better.
It's to let you know that I'm in a beautiful place.
It is with our Lord, I have seen His face.
My leaving I know has caused you much pain.
But I wish you could see how much I've gained.
I see only beauty in Heaven above,
I'm surrounded by our Lord's eternal love.
Remember my parting is for a short while,
I'll be waiting for you with my biggest smile.
I felt so blessed to have you for my Father,
I know you felt the same, we were like no other.
The love we shared together is still in my heart,
Nothing can destroy it or tear it apart.
You'll grieve forever, of this I know for sure,
I wish I could take your pain away, there's only one cure.
It will be that joyous moment, when God lifts up your hand,
And we walk away together, we have reached the Promised Land.

In Loving Memory of Christopher Michael Hodge, their beloved Son
Remember Him?
Remember him,
He was here almost 17 years?
Remember him,
Do you ever shed any tears?
Remember him,
He was a cousin, nephew, and friend?
Remember him,
When your day ends?
Remember him,
All the good times you had?
Remember him,
Are you still sad?
Remember him,
All the laughter he gave?
Remember him,
On a sunny day?
Remember him,
He was there for you?
Remember him,
I hope you do!
Remember us,
We're his Mom and Dad?
Remember us,
Could we still be sad?
Remember us,
We lived for our Son?
Remember us,
Where have you gone?
Remember us,
How we were there for you?
Remember us,
I hope you do!
