A Song for Matthew and Caitlin Boles

Here is a new song that came to me today. I hope someone likes it enough to put it to music.

Their Love

By Padrig Boles
Sept 2009

Their Love

This two year old held her
And loved her from the start
He was her protector and brother
She had no clue what was to start
She was happy, secure and content
He was fierce and endearing
When the song declared that:
“Caitie” was going to marry that boy Tommy
He told mom at three
That Caities’ not going to marry Tommy!
Caities going to marry me!

We knew the bond was sure
So sure

As different as the could be
He a quiet, athletic over achiever
A temper and inner drive
A mystery to most
Her a smiling, laughing, love bug
A passion to lead and nurture
If they weren’t brother and sister
She would have married that boy
Matt had huge respect for her
Caitie envied his easy way
Loved and revered by all who knew them

We knew the bond was sure
So sure

They grew up side by side
Like an apple and orange in the same pea pod
She watching him, keeping him right
He doting over her, relying on her might
Even the principle thought they were dating
Always together, always different
Claimed they never understood each other
But they always ended up on the same side
A skater icon and the president
The cook and the charmer
Their love was so deep, so spiritual, so real

We knew the bond was sure
So sure

Matt with his growing faith
Caitie with her questing logic
He got A’s without effort
She pulled A’s with much strain
He was the rock star without trying
She loved the spotlight she gained
He only cared for the next big trick
She worried about the animals and the presidential pick
Friends, family and church sustained them
Their passions contained them
Future greatness was apparent

We knew the bond was sure
So sure

They were together
Forever they will be connected
Never to be forgotten
Clear blue eyes and disarming smiles
Faithful friends around them
A legacy of fun, love and freshness
A family that will never be the same
A school with two holes in it’s heart
A community that will never forget
Their love was so deep, so spiritual, so real
Let’s hope we can keep our part of the deal
