Poem To A Lost Son From His Grieving Mother. (Losing A Child…Missing Your Child.)

 6-2-2012

Today my beautiful twincesses are 27 months old.

 

 

I know there are many mothers out there who grieve their lost child every single day of the week. Most will admit certain times of the year are harder than others to get through. Birthdays, anniversaries, Mother’s Day, and the list goes on. Those are worst ones for me. My angel celebrated his 17th birthday with the angels in heaven recently. Its been hard.

 

I know writing doesn’t come easy to everyone, but I think everybody should try it. It helps your heart, your mind, and is very therapeutic for the soul. It doesn’t have to be poetically ‘good’, it just has to have feeling. Through feeling there is healing. It’s hard..yes, but to keep emotions bottled up inside, in the end, becomes way harder to handle. I have been there.

 

Here is a poem I wrote on my baby’s birthday.

To My Baby Boy..A Young Man On His 17th Birthday

 

Today you would be 17, no longer just a child,

You’d be a young man moving on, to college in awhile.

 

I’d be so proud, I’d clap my hands, as you’d take your degree,

But I won’t get to see these moments, they were robbed from me.

 

Today you’d be my big boy, chasing girls and chasing dreams,

Finding your place in this world, figuring out what true love means.

 

You’ll never get to find love, or to pick your path unknown,

God sent you to the heavens, without a road to lead you home.

 

Today I cry in my heart, as I mourn this greatest loss,

A son gone from his mother, a bright star of endless cost.

 

No chance to watch you marry, when you find your saving grace,

No grand kids here to spoil, not a one that bares your face.

 

Today I’ll hold in my heart, not just son but life’s best friend,

And re-live all the memories, wondering why they had to end.

 

I pray you’ll be beside me, as again I let you go,

Still knowing that within me, is the place you’ll always grow.

 

*************************************

 

You forever grow in my heart son. My love is never ending. You give me strength to carry on…I owe my life to you. Be with me today and always. We love and miss you. Me and your siblings celebrate your life, on this your special day.

 

Happy birthday in heaven my angel.

 

Love always and forever,
Mom

It’s really a terrific thing to write down your feelings when you are sad, lonely, hurt, in need of a friend but no one is around, or nobody ‘gets it’. If you have anything in your heart that needs to pour out, let it pour out onto paper.

 

You can also feel free to write me anytime for a friend if you are ever in need of speaking with someone who really understands your pain. Thanks for reading, as this was therapy for my own soul.
