A sunshine smile all over his face, an explosion of curls
Even as a toddler, you had all the girls
Milk teeth so perfect, like tiny white pearls
A part of my WORLD, you are my boy.
A milk-mustached face and a chocolate-smeared chin
A twinkling, mischievous, heart-melting grin
I can't believe I'll never see you again
A part of my WORLD, you are my boy.
The battles you fought in your soul’s foreign lands
You fought against time, against life's strange demands
Now your battle is over, your time here too short
Your half-pipe shredded, God said "Mission abort!"
But my heart remembers yours, and I'll meet you with your board
A part of my WORLD, forever my boy.
