My Greatest Creation

His name was __________
He was a two year old boy
And one day he hoped to 
do greater things than his father
like grow mountains
out of mustard seeds
or end world hunger 
using one grain of rice
But on October 11, 2013
His dreams were crushed 
On that day his dreams 
became "unrealistic"
And this happened well before 
he could learn how to ride a bike
or how to love someone 
greater than his dad's love was for him
His dad lost everything that he loved 
on that day
Two years of his best work 
GONE 
faster than he could say I Love You
one last time
And his father was only beginning
You know its amazing 
how fast life can change
And no I'm not talking about the change
from a normal life to stardom and fame
I'm talking about going from 
changing diapers to planning a funeral
in a matter of days
And two years ago,
He became his father's present and future
But now he's gone...
If only you knew how hard it was
to write this poem
and refer to a two year old boy
as the past
