One Year Later

When March winds blow

And spring draws near
I continue to miss you
And wish you were here
My mind refuses to believe
It has been one year today
Since the fire at your house
Sadly made you go away
Day by day I remember you
You're never far from my mind
And try as I might to win the fight
Peace in my heart I cannot find
As another year begins without you
I search for the will to go on somehow
My time to join you has not yet come
I must get by for now.

Back...

I wish you could have know me

When my son was still alive
The way I always had a smile
And a sparkle in my eyes
I wish you could have know me
When my life was full of joy
Back... when I had everything
Especially my oldest boy

I Lost My Child Today

People came to weep and cry

As I just sat and stared, dry eyed
They struggled to find words to say
To try and make the pain go away
I walked the floor in disbelief
I lost my child today

I lost my child last month
I wait to wake up from this dream
This can't be real, I want to scream
Yet everything is locked inside
God help me, I want to die
I lost my child last month

I lost my child last year
My eyes have now cried many tears
I see the look upon your face
"She must move on and leave this place"
Yet I am trapped right here in time
The songs the same, as is the rhyme
I lost my child......TODAY.

Dearest Bart,

If your spirit was there the day you died

You saw my grief and how I cried
I could not believe you had to go
And over and over I told you so
I stroked your chin, your hair, your brow
In shock, that this had happened now
My fingers brushing through your hair
The pain was more than I could bear
My tears upon your face did land
I rubbed your arms and held each hand
It's not just your body I miss
It's your touch and voice and kiss
Your laugh and songs and how you talk
The way you smiled and how you walk
You were everything to me
To lose you was not meant to be...

My love for you, my firstborn son, my twin soul, is an eternal
unconditional love. I am grateful I was chosen to be your mother.
I will keep my love and thoughts of you locked within my heart,
there they shall remain till the end of time.
I miss you so very much,
Mama
