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
