My Beautiful Bentley

My love and my joy

You will always be

My sweet baby boy

Those beautiful blue eyes

And smiles filled with delight

Visit me in my dreams

Each and every night

Our little monkey man

Was our nickname for you

Mommy and daddy love you so

But to Heaven’s gates you flew

This ache in my heart

Is a pain I have to bear

Because God had his own plan

Angel wings you now wear.

Such a special little soul

Filled with beauty so bright

Could only live in our world

On loan a few sleepless nights

To kiss your beautiful face

And to hold you so very tight

Those few short months

You were the light of my life

No mother should every have to walk

This long and painful road

The death of a beautiful child

Is just too heavy a load

So goodbye my sweet child

Forever in our hearts you will stay

You are so deeply loved and missed

We will walk hand in hand some day
