The 25th of December, 1980 was the year, came the birth of a child,
who gave the Adkins much cheer.
Christopher was the name given to the boy, which gave this family so much joy.
He grew up so quickly, as all of them do, he seemed to keep growing,
he grew and he grew.
At a very young age, a man he did grow,
with a heart the same size, we all learned to know.
Anything with two to four wheels he loved to play,
to go hunting or fishing, away he would stray.

The 9th of June 2002 was that fateful day, when God decided to take Chris away.
No pain did he feel, as in his hands God did hold, this very big man, so happy and bold.
"A Guardian Angel, I make this one today,"
least I suspect, is what God had to say.
So when things get tough and are hard to bear, close your eyes, and Chris will be there.
With a "Dew" in his hand and that big, ol' grin on his face,
with us all, in our hearts, is now his place.
