Oh how I wish it were so different my precious son
Your mom is so sad and grieved that you are gone
You fought the good fight but it got you in the end
Just two weeks now I'm still in shock but I can't pretend
Our family always called the family of five
Not anymore for there is now four who are alive
I'm weeping now and can barely see the screen
I see your face and loving embrace this I've seen
But now no more kisses no more hugs, it hurts so bad
No wedding, no grand babies, oh how I feel so sad
I hate drugs, a disease and I know you didn't want to die
My sweet son three months of sobriety and in one night no lie
Another overdose, you were doing so good, I can't believe the fall
To remember you frozen by myself no longer alive I truly ball
I wished so badly it were different but God gave you a call
I love you my sweet precious son, for now and always.
Love your mom

Oh Kelle, I feel pieces of your pain through this write and I am so sad and so sorry. I can not imagine the anguish that has taken up residence within your soul. The loss of a child is a crime against mothers, it's seems so unfair, so unjust.
I see the pictures of you with your boy and I can't help but weep, the sadness is so overwhelming.
I still have not made it all the way through your home page here at AP, lol.
I know that you are surrounded by so many people who love you and support you and for that I am truly grateful.
You are a beautiful person and I continue to keep you in my prayers.
God Bless You Kelle!

You have been hood-winked!
Such a touching poem full of love for your son who has passed away...
It's so sad and I can't even imagine what it's like to lose one of the people that are so close to you...
But you wonderfully put all this into a poem.
I wish you strength for now and the future, you will be in my thoughts and prayers!
Keep on writing, it helps to ease the pain!

This is so heartbreaking to read. The love, loss, and pain felt is evident in every word. I can't imagine your loss, even though I too have lost a son under completely different circumstances. Drug addiction is difficult at any time, but for it to end in such tragedy is gut wrenching to even think about. My love and prayers go out to you.

P.S. You have just been Hoodwinked by a Poetic Bandit!

Every time I come to your poetry I weep. My heart mourns for you my sister. I have a 23 year old son, soon to be 24, Lord willing. I am so sorry. Your pain is so evident in your words. I cannot fathom your loss. Please keep penning your feelings poet. I hate the disease of addiction as well. I have eleven plus years and am still on edge. Some days there is a glint of want. Your poem reminds me that there is no turning back. Thank you. You are constantly in my heart and prayers.
Much Love ♥

Oh Honey, This has the tears flowing this morning! I wish there were something I could say to take this pain away. I can't begin to imagine your pain. I know Matt is watching over you everyday from heaven. I will keep you in my prayers.
Best of luck in this contest, that we both have entered.
and much love

He truely is a beutiful son, and rightly you may be proud of him. Frans

You have shared a mother's true heart, no matter if you did add any of the other precious things. The message is clear - simplistically written with so much compasion and love. You have depicted pain so clear, that it touches my heart. He would be proud of this poem, as he for sure knows it comes from deep inside his mother's heart. God bless you and your family. Frans.

this made me cry. it made me remember all the things i did to my own mother. i tried to take my own life and she was so worried about me. to know what she might have felt if i had been successful is really upsetting. i think part of understands a little more about what she feels about me and my siblings. i never thought it would have been so much more painful then just losing someone she loved. i'm sorry for you loss and hope you get some peace in writing this.

how sweet and precious my friend
You did so well with this.... I can feel your hurts and yet I can also feel your strength and faith in God. Kelle, that is what it takes to be a good Christian, when you are hurt and sad but refuse to fall down and stay there. Keep on going my friend. Things will get better. Keep writing, I am encouraged by your words. God bless you, Mark

This is a great piece of work. Very clearly something close to your heart and an incredibly emotional piece as well. The part that really caught me was how a family of five is now a family of four. Sometimes just hearing the number can really make it sink in. Great write. Good job
