From a distance

.
Hold onto my hand from a distance pop
 realize it may be just out of your reach,
but faith will always show you the way
it is time to practice what you preached.
.
You taught me that life can be very short
yet for some, ..less than we might know,
give each and every single day your best
and "We'll always reap what we sow."
.
Go ahead, `GRASP THE WIND
Hold onto my hand from a distance pop;
know just because I am no longer here
will never mean this love shall ever stop.
.

    This made me think of people in my life who give no thought to the way that their actions affect others.

    A thought provoking, heart touching piece you have written here.

    Out of reach but never out of thoughts or love. Makes me want to cry for I know it hurts to write something like this. I only wish my son would realize how some of the things he does are way too dangerous. Beautiful poem full of emotion that hits the reader's heart.

    you've used the passing of your son to create some beautiful work here. Out of sorrow sometimes comes inspiration and you've shown that.
    He must have been a spectacular young man from reading what you write.
    fav stanza:

    You taught me that life can be very short
    and some ...it's less than we might know,
    give each and every single day your best
    for "We always reap all that we sow."
