What A Young Child Wants 

My name is Devon

My mom‘s in heaven

I live with dad

It’s not too bad

I dream I’m sleeping in bed with my mom

But when I wake up, she is gone

I make believe I have a brother

But it’s not true, there is no other

I have to go now and take a bath

Then do homework, English and math

Goodnite Mommy, I throw you a kiss

Your hugs and smile is what I miss.

LOVE YOUR SON, DEVON xxxooo
