I stand alone

  
   

11/10/86 to 04/27/05

I stand alone at a silent window

like branches, my mind begins to climb

and beautiful visions of you dear boy

just seem to surface every time.

.

A tear shutters down my cheek

hoping to be caught and not let fall

but it will not change a single thing

to what really matters most of all.

,

No-more hello's or good-bye's

or that; "Gee, ...I sure love you pop"

them smiles that melted this 'Ol heart

I  just thought would never stop.

.

Know Son your memories make me smile

they make my spirit stand to dance

but if those memories ever faded from view

this soul wouldn't have a fighting chance.

.

So as I finish up my final journey here

I kiss love into the gentle winds your way

knowing that it's just a blink of an eye

when I'll be able to see you again one day.

 

Y I miss you son Y

Rest in peace baby boy

    Oh Wow

    Gets this is so beautiful. Oh how I wish I was further at peace in my journey with losing Matt as you are with Adam. Your son is just precious and your love for him is just beautiful. All those sweet precious memories from when they were first conceived even.
    I hope I can learn to catch that tear from falling into dispair but savoring the beauty of those precious memories more. I so just love you and your poetry just blesses my heart and gives me HOPE!! Thank you for sharing my dear sweet big brother!!

    Much Love Always

    How can something be so heartwrenching, yet so beautiful at he same time? This is a beautiful poem and tribute to your son, I am writing this with tears rolling down my face, i cannot imagine how painful it would be to lose a child, and my heart goes out to you.
    Wonderful Piece!

    This is so painful and so beautiful
    I cried all the way through, wich shows the emotional impact it had
    I saw a picture the whole way through and felt the emotion and the loss to the end
    It was perfectly written
    But I'm lost in the words...
    All my love

    I can picture you standing at that window, but your not alone, Adams spirit is right beside you! Then on the left is all the spirits of your friends.... Lovely poem, and a true Gold from me!

    I am sorry that you have to go through so much pain I could have cried reading this- the pain was sharp, tangible and present is every line. My heart ached reading this. There was so much grief I could relate to too.

    You are a very strong person, to be able to handle this pain and still keep fighting every single day

    I am sorry for your loss. But please do know, that you are never alone- there are os many more going through the same pain too

    Take care,
    Lonely Shouts

    You may stand alone as your title suggests but you will never be truly alone for in your heart lives the smiles and memoriesIn the hearts of all he touched from time to time they will smile in thought I read this at first in sorrow then found the smile creep into my thoughts at the love i feel. The words are just the tip of what i feel lay beneath and the smile just a reflection of that love. Your lines flow with ease with expressive descriptive emotions which touch every heart who reads of that i am sure. The rhyme paints the background of the imagery as it unfolds into one amazing picture. Thank you
