I love you

.

 

It has been almost three years now

on this long journey we have made

I know I shall never be alone again

because my memories will not fade

.

That Precious ~ 'Hey pops, I love you

still rings out inside me loud and clear

while helping me hang on everyday

of wonderful times we've held near

.

I know they'll love you in heaven son

for your spirit has always stood so tall

and the problems you seen on earth

now just appear, ...nothing but small!

Tears fall about this lonely fathers feet

as tamed winds "Whisper your name"

Yet, no matter how hard I seem to try

I know for it won't ever be the same

                                                                                          I miss you boy, your pops

 

 

Adam died an early spring morn 2005

    Your son is very handsome, a chip off the old block I'd dare to say, anyways, your tribute to him in this poem is so beautifully catching, congrats on capturing real emotions in this piece and for sharing them with me...lol

    I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a child is something you never get over. As long as you hold onto the memories in your heart, he is never really gone. I know it doesn't provide much comfort.

    HOODWINKED !!!

    It's those precious memories that sustain us even when the loss seems unbearable, and through those memories your son lives on with you this day. That will have to do until the glorious reunion you will have with him on high. Love does not die but lives on through eternity. This is a very thoughtful tribute and reflection on the special person that your son was. Well written!

    You have been Hoodwinked by the Poetic Bandits because WE CARE!

    You always touch me so deeply when you reflect on Adam. The love for a child never ends no matter what separates them from us. This was a beautiful piece Gary..

    Outstanding

    I know what its like to lose a loved one but for it to be your son that has to be really awful. Great piece of work, when i was reading it i could feel what you were feeling. Loved it.
