Corwin, my lost son, would have been 8 years old this year. In his remembrance I give you this.
For reasons unknown,
you are lost to me.
Floating in the clouds,
an Angel with wings
Time glides by,
but not a day,
without you,
your memory.
They say time cures-
but death does not heal
The wounds,
too deep.
Only one moment,
one second of time,
in an instant flash
will re-unite.
I wait for that day
Some days in earnest
Some days in regret
I will never forget
I cannot imagine a greater heartache.

This is a lovely poem. When my child was younger she almost died, but thankfully she made it. I carry that day with me forever. I know it isn't the same thing. I am sorry you lost your Corwin.

Beautiful. Angel babies touch this world in a million ways every day. Too many parents feel like they are not supposed to remember and reflect. By sharing this, you are helping another parent.
ReplyDeleteHeartbreaking. I can't fathom it. I look at my daughter… and I cannot fathom it.
ReplyDeleteHugs my friend, Jenny
Sad but beautiful. I'm really sorry.
ReplyDeleteI remember being faced with my granddaughter Kali's cancer at 8 months old. I was so scared. I couldn't imagine losing her. We were so lucky. I have always thought of how awful it must be for those who weren't lucky. I realize I cannot even begin to imagine. Sending you hugs my friend! This was a beautiful poem.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post and I cannot imagine your pain while writing it.
