Your Shining Light

Written for Vicki Bosley in Memory of her son.

Silent memories
Flash through your mind
Moments of madness
Seems to be all you find.

Remembering his laughter
And his beautiful face
His magnetic personality
Nothing could ever replace.

In your arms as a baby
You held him tight
Soft lullaby's you sang him
For sweet dreams at night.

Through trials as parents
Trying to raise him best
You gave him your all
To succeed in Life's test.

From the love and support
And all that you did
A man would emerge
From what once was a kid.

You gave him values
Taught him right from wrong
Showed him that happiness is life
Even if the road seems long.

Honor and loyalty
He gave all he could give
Laid down his own life
So that others could live.

You raised him to be strong
For his beliefs stand and fight
And even from Heaven he'll always be
Your Shining Light.

In Memory Of
Army Staff Sgt. Justin L. Vasquez,

3rd. Armored Cavalry Regiment's

Killed June 5, 2005 in Baghdad, Iraq.
