My Earliest Memories a Poem by R.J. Blackwolf

My earliest memories of my life were with my mom and dad, 

I had an uncle too, 

My Uncle was always there,

He was there when I was happy, and when I was sad,                                              

My uncle loved to sing to me and never left me alone,

Never not even for a day,                               

I love you my boy, is what he would always say,           

I never knew why I had so many doctors,

I would never pay them attention,                               

But, I do recall there was a lot my uncle would mention,                                                 

I would never forget sitting at the doctor’s office,

Ice Age playing on the T.V. and my uncle was hugging me tight                                                 

Something seemed different because the doctor came in and said “Mr. Blackwolf, your son's heart is better, everything will be alright”,                           

It was then I realized I once had a bad heart, but everything is now ok                                               

I had my uncle my mom and my dad there to share the happiness of that day                                     

Sadly on August 22, 2015, a day before my birthday, 

My dad suddenly passed away,

Only four months and a day later my mother joined him,

It was the day before Christmas Eve,             

I was scared, I hugged my uncle tight,

I never wanted him to leave,                                           

On my own, 

I figured out my mom and dad were gone,

because that's what happens when you get old,                       

Then I realized my uncle was really my dad,

I didn't need to be told,                                     

He told me why he never said anything,

He said he'd never step in the way of my feelings for another     

Because of him, I am happy today,

I live with my brother and dad,       

To my mom and dad in heaven,

I love and miss you it doesn't matter when,                                       

I'll quote my dad's favorite song to say 'happy trails to you until we meet again,                                 

I am R.J. John Blackwolf, I’m fifteen and I know I'll never feel sad,                                                 

Because I have everything I want and need, and that's my brother and my dad!
