Forever Eighteen

Forever eighteen,
to this earth,
I'll be seen,
but not in my
momma's eyes.

She'll watch from below,
as in heaven
I grow,
I'll meet her
at sunrise.

Forever to stay,
through out
the day,
walking by
her side

I may be gone,
but through her,
I live on;
love
intensified.

On my 23rd

I won't be heard,

but try to feel my

presence

I'll be there

with you to share,

all of my birthday

presents!

Author notes

I can't imagine losing a child...I only have one...
Blessings, peace and love to you and yours!
*PEACE*

  If you get a chance...read my poem unconditional
  I may change the last line....
  to not at birth, or death.
  Take care!
