Another memory placed

 

  
In memory of my son
   

11/10/86 to 04/27/05

.

Wind lightly picks up through these afternoon skies,

  as I sit upon my porch rubbing tears from my eyes.                              

Time has passed very slowly as if it's come to a halt,

                    and this trip I'll be taking today, to your burial vault.

                                    I remembered "White Roses" were your favorite Son..

                   and the fond memories of you; have only just begun.

While ~The Pops I love you~ is still so fresh and clear,

almost as you {My friend} were right next to me here.                    

Your smile lives on through these pictures and my mind,                                    

and the visions of an Angel that you have left behind.                    

I can imagine your "bike" riding across our front yard,

                    while I fight back the tears, but it's just "So very hard!"

                                  Well my Son I have come now... to visit with you again,

                 and so many of the 'Angels cry with me' as it begins to rain. 

Your marker is etched from a polished stone of time,    

  with inscription {In our hearts} of a consonant rhyme.                    

It's peaceful here, nothing but sound of drops remain,                                       

      I kiss & lay down a rose trying to refrain my hearts pain.                

  The air has now become still with 'Not one single sound',

                                another memory placed in my heart of this sacred ground..

    I clicked on this, hoping against hope, I was wrong about what I was gonna find. But I see I was right... This heart wrenching and wonderful! You did a great job on this one! I hope as times goes by, you can find some peace at the thought of knowing that his love, is always with you... He is watching over you each and every day.

    Best of luck to you in this contest!

    and love

    A very touching and tender poem. Words cannot convey the feelings I have inside. This is so sad and yet so simply beautiful all at the same time. I am truly sorry for your loss. Thanks for sharing this very personal poetry. May God bless you and keep you always. Keep the ink flowing and good luck!

    Nice job Gets. Your loss really hits me because I have a daughter almost exactly the same age as Adam and when I read your words I picture myself in your shoes and I don't know how you do it. Take care. Steve

    I am so sorry for your loss- my heart goes out to you-there is nothing I can compare it to, and I admire you so much for keeping strong. This is so beautifully shattering. I'm fumbling for words trying to describe how moving and strong this is. Your flow and rhythm are perfect, and I am fighting tears at this very moment.
    Best wishes,
    Cordelia

    Wow, this was so sad and moving. I can feel your pain of the loss of your son. I know how you are feeling. I lost my mother when i was 11 yrs old and i feel the same pain. If you would like i have a poem called "A Daughter's Sorrow" if you would like to read it. I wrote it for my mother. This is a great poem and it came from the heart, and those are the best ones.

    Thank you very much for your entry into my contest, your talent and hard work are very much appreciated. I have to say, wow, this poem brought me to tears, the emotion that is expressed is very heart wrenching. I loved the flow, and the pictures only added eloquence and a sense of painful nostalgic loss. I too have lost someone close to me, and though i don't know your pain, this poem did speak to me. I loved it and hope you do well in this contest.

    Beautiful but so sad

    Beautiful and so very sad to read, the pain you still feel echoes in each and every single word you have written about Adam and this is no exception.
    As you already know I can relate to this piece I just wish you couldn't also relate to the pain I feel.
    Well written and as always indeed a pleasure to read xx
