Behind Life's Setting Sun I watched as you were born I watched your body grow strong I watched you take your first step, so tiny, yet full of vigor and pep I watched you hold your first pup, as you gave him a drink from your cup I watched you grow into a man I watched you cry and reach for my hand, wretched in your body and soul, unable to become whole On solid ground you could not stand, because drugs pulled you down like quick sand I watched them tear your body apart, destroy your mind...then stop your heart. Your brother watched over you each day, trying to reach you before you slipped away Now, all that is left is a shadow of your body Behind lifes setting sun. Written by Nancy Calhoon to her eldest son, who now has gone to be with his dad. With unending love, Mom, Greg, Kayla, Hurricane and best friend, Angelo.
