Come Please Dry My Tears

Two years near passed Since you have gone It feels like only yesterday When you were taken Without a warning On that terrible day That Friday morning Oh how I cried The day you died And each day since you went I see your face You smile at me And yet you do not speak You send your crow So that I know You’re watching over me As each day ends The next begins Oh where are you my son Are you happy With no more pain Will I e’re see you again Are you with Dad Are you with Nan Somewhere close My loves ~ my dears Await for me Take away my fears My dearest son My only one Come ~ please dry my tears… Written 15th October 2021 three days before the second anniversary of my son passing...

Hi Ann... happened upon this poem...the sodden ache is heavy with sorrow, am reminded of life's frailty, just 10mn ago my brother, 68yrs old, 3 yrs older than me urgently called me they had lost their dearest friend to Alzheimer's just this morning at age 71...I find ways to cope, my seedlings by my window are growing, as is my reliance on Jesus...

dear James thank you for your kind visit my friend and ultimately faith is what will help us through our sadness and sorrow, although it will never stop me missing him so, he was too young and went without warning... with kindest thought Ann xx

Dear Ann, there is no healing possible ~ only faith we are all heading to a better place and will all meet again ~ they do not want us to be sad, somehow we must find a way to make sense of it all. Hugs xx

To lose a son is terrible. I lost a wife. I did not cry but my heart is dead.
