Guilt

I travel on a sea of guilt... with no land in site for me to feel. Why was it you instead of me? The sense of which I've yet to see. Who holds the cards and does the dealing, these questions in my mind are reeling. Was it fate or chance that this came up? Was this the plan or just bad luck? Not one day goes by I do not wonder. The guilt has gripped me like a thunder. If it were me...instead of you... would you be asking this stuff too? P.R.Deremer

God plan is perfect in our lives....most of the time we can't understand or make sense of anything. Anger takes over, time is lost in sadness and pain can take you to a very lonely place with only questions for company. God must have needed our children for something special to have taken them so soon from our arms. But knowing we will see them in God's time gives me some peace but will never fill the void left behind. I love you.

This poem was about my son passing about 13 years ago. The pain still hangs on. Thank you for your comment and for reading my work.

Dear Pam Guilt is a great title for this poem, but really it's not your place to decide or feel quilty for anything a higher power decides such things kiddo, you must except what life gives you and move forward but on the same token I think at one time or another we all wonder what if, another great read, thanks for the sharing in all these works, cheri
