You were the son I once had Now that you are gone I am very sad All that's left are the memories of your childhood Moments that were all pleasant and good. I remember the nights you and Nesa had fights just for a place on my chest, And in sickness this is where I would lay you to rest. Mealtime for you was a delight And feasting and cornbeef and rice at night But that's not all, you loved playing ball Though many a times you would fall. Although I couldn't run! It was so much fun. Oh Kurt, there is so much to say but time did not permit you to stay Never thought it would end this way. Life has its ups and downs Whether we smile or frown. Your picture hangs on the walls of my heart And from there it will never depart Always and forever, Aunt Jan
