My boy by my side
all of his years,
through laughter and sorrow
smiles and tears,

now a event 
about to occur
a son to my son
to be born this year,

my heart for him
will jump with glee
that his son gives him
all that he gave to me,

but in the joy will lie
a tender loving tear
because I won't be
any where near

to where this momentous
occasion will be,
they'll all have each other
but they won't have me.
