A Poem I wrote for written for our truely amazing son, Anthony
As I sit watching the clouds drift by
All I want is to have you by my side
The space in my heart will never be filled
The tears on my face drift and become chilled
The emptiness of grief for the loss of a child
Leaves you heart crumbled out of sight
The corners of my mind empty, the future memories gone
The outlook is so dark and baron
How can I carry on, missing one?
Our love for our rainbow baby hasn’t gone
Tears cascade down, like a tsunami
Slowly rolling like a military army
Future paths have been denied
From the moment you past and died
Relationships, loves, family and friends
Are a past memory, no future transcends
Our Son, brother, grandson, and nephew
We love you more than you knew
Flowers is all we can give you now
Heartache forever and the question why and how?
The feeling swimming around my mind
To cry, to scream, or laughter which sign
The feeling of being disloyal or permission to smile
This feels so far away and will take awhile
Time hasn’t healed any of our pain
I hide my tears when I hear your name
So, every night tucked up in bed I feel my fears
There are always millions of silent tears
