Ma'Davion Smalls Obituary

I should have held you longer,
I should have held you tighter.
When you were a baby, I rocked you to sleep
and put you down because there was work to be done, But;
I should have held you longer,
I should have held you tighter
because I can't hold you anymore.
Then you were a toddler;
you wanted to squirm and run,
so I put you down because you wanted to go have fun; But;
I should have held you longer,
I should have held you tighter
because I can't hold you anymore.
You grew and became a little boy,
and the times I could hold you became less and less
but still so dear. But;
I should have held you longer,
I should have held you tighter
because I can't hold you anymore.
You grew to be a young man.
I wanted to hold you near
but you just wanted to run clear. But;
I should have held you longer,
I should have held you tighter;
I had no idea I wasn't going to hold you anymore.
Now I hold you longer, tighter in my heart for all eternity,
wishing and wanting more...until I hold you again.
