The sun didn't shine today by getsbetter at All poetry

The sun didn't shine today

with clouds roaring thru its distant air

and teardrops of many ancient Angels

fell across pages of ~the Lords prayer

Looking to heaven for many anwsers

as past visions speak in black & white

giving only motion without any volume

Yet, having a "sweetness and Light"

Heartstrings are numb becoming useless

while my nerves tend to take a back seat

then you catch me just before I fall

leaving my faith enough to be complete!

Wonderfull words for your son
We should all be so blessed, to be loved so well

I lost a brother at thirty
One of the kindest young men I ever knew
I watched my mother greav
her remorse for the loss, was almost unending

Eventually her faith gave her peace
I crave for that day for you
It is known, that you will always remember
The gift is to do this in peace

This has brought tears too my eyes. You are right we should never give up our faith. Without faith and hope where would we all be. I am so sorry for the loss of your son I can't imagine the pain you are going through I have lost loved ones but never a child. I am here if you ever need to just talk. Please know that you are so loved by so many and that your son is smiling down from heaven upon you. You give others the strength and will to go on.

Okay, I think I figured it out. Many falter in their faith but you still have to keep believing because it is the only thing that keeps you going.

Such a poignant poem about the loss of a son. I know so much of your own feeling went into this write, and it shows. Grief and questions soothed by faith, an eloquent,
gentle write Kellie Marie can cherish.

You have been HOOD WINKED by The Poetic Bandits. Sentiments you shared here in this poem written for someone else, I know are the same you feel about the
loss of your son. You have walked in these shoes and can easily write about what has happened and comfort others in the same situation. Wonderful words - great flow, rhythm and rhyme.

Oh My I'm In Tears
This is beautiful Gets. You explain so much of how I feel it is a trip. It's unusual to read someone writing about how you feel. I'm not the one who wrote it you were. I can't seem to get these feeling out into words as you penned here so beautifully in this poem. It is just beautiful and I love the Lords Prayer then "sweetness and Light" then the whole last stanza.

Heartstrings are numb becoming useless
while my nerves tend to take a back seat
then you catch me just before I fall
leaving my faith enogh to be complete!

Thank you for I am honored as always and will treasure this poem for always.
Much Love
