Meant to Be

Meant To Be (for James and those who love him)

White blonde hair and big blue eyes
Sleeping calmly, rarely a sound
Who knew how sick you were
Surgery after surgery
Never giving up
My baby you were meant to be...

Bubbly and boisterous
Mischievous and witty
Making me laugh all the while
My boy you were meant to be.....

Determined to help other children
Going door to door for Variety,
Folkfest, Jazzfest you worked them all
Never saying why me
A volunteer you were meant to be.....

Riding your bike
Singing along the way
Playing with your sis
Never a dull day
A brother you were meant to be.....

Exploring your community
Teaching others along the way
Singing and spinning without a care
A young man you were meant to be...

Playing with your niece and nephew
You look at them with admiration
An uncle you were meant to be....
A lot of love and more to give
You find Liisa, your lady love
The sparkle in your eyes when you make her smile
A boyfriend you were Meant to be......

Life has been a struggle
You have never taken for granted
You have far surpassed the medical profession expectations
You have more singing to do
A strong man you are meant to be.....

Love Mom
