Oh Ned, my dear and precious son
It's been so long since we've been one
My heart aches for your gentle touch
And I miss you so very much

Though time and distance keep us apart
My love for you remains in my heart
The memories of your childhood days
Still fill me with joy and amaze

I long to hear your voice once more
And see your smile that I adore
To hold you close and never let go
And to never miss another moment to show

But until that day we are reunited
I'll keep you in my thoughts every night and day
And though you may be far away
My love for you will always stay

So Ned, my son, please never forget
That in my heart you are still kept
And know that wherever you may roam
You'll always have a place to call home.
