A poem Daniel wrote for Riley

My son, my first, my beautiful baby boy
The thought of you in my life brought me great joy.
The dreams of raising, playing and lovingyou I have had.
The indescribable excitment of being your dad.
And now upon the news you won't live.
Tears flow from my face and drip like a sieve.
Though I never met you. Comfort I still find,
For you live on in my heart soul and mind.
Now I look to the day when we shall meet.
To see you in perfection from your head to your feet.
I will love you forever that is my oath.
While I am on this earth, my heart beats for us both.
-Daniel Peterson
