Sorrow

Missing image

 

Many moons irrecoverable

you were the love of a lifetime

my son, my child, my life

 

A mother's love everlasting

dwells inside her eternal womb

never foresaken

 

Yet sickness took me away

expired before my task complete

leaving you alone

 

An enduring hard journey

to depart without you

pain not forgotten

 

Your youth so innocent

knowing you'd not comprehend

just feel left, abandoned

 

How can I let you know

I didn't want to go, but

life has its own destiny

 

My early surprise demise,

was not my plan at all

felt we'd both been cheated

 

Your strong-will shall keep you

a survivor you shall be

in all things unaware

 

Losing me shall shape you

molding compassion in your clay

soothe others, feeling their pain

 

Passion shall hold your heart

desire shall be your path

discerning right from wrong

 

I give all my love to thee

to feel the rest of your days

knowing you were special

 

Continue your life's journey

our hearts shall touch once more

Proudly greeting you at the door

    I have to say, I do love my own poem here. Bravo to me. It is the emotions I feel when I read it and when I wrote it. Pat pat myself on the back.

    A beautiful write, poignant, sad. Yet it ends in hope.
    I especially love the final 4 stanzas.

    Congratulations on winning the silver!

    heart felt write

    expressions of such love, only another mother could comprehend, understand the loss and feelings of leaving a boy so young, knowing many hardships that he would face in life. without love would be the greatest challenge, important item in his destiny of the future. most of us want, need love, especially that special love that only comes to us, one time, few times, in our lives. we know what we want, but that love appears to evade us, escaping into time and space. thank you for touching my heart with this write, SORROW. I felt your words as they pentrated deeply inside my heart and soul.
