The heart never sleeps

     

~In memory of~

Donald Rene Bonham 2nd

3/27/85 to 8/31/03 

 

Carry my heart with a gentle touch

for the pain is sharp and hurts so much

A son has left and went away

to the precious heavens his soul shall stay

 

Life continues to deal this hand

of senseless cards I don't understand

If I could have seen the future ahead

I would've begged God to take me instead

 

But life don't allow us that choice

of turning back time to hear my voice

Memories fade as new ones appear

of my loving son I hold so dear

 

Everyday pain renews its face up high

knowing I never got to say good`bye

My heart is pure and will remain that way

so I can be with my son again one day

 

*God bless you boy*

My heart goes out to you Texas, I too lost my son at the age of 18

    Have strength...

    If you have a bible read James chapter 1 verses 2-4
    Suffering helps us to stengthen our faith and become stronger and more complete. Make your son proud of how you have used this trial to become a more complete person. I liked the poem and shed a couple tears for you.
