A beautifully sad poem which I extremely enjoyed reading this afternoon my dear friend David! Yes, parting is one of the most painful things in life especially of a very dear love one or child. Two thumbs up for this unique and outstanding verse my dear friend! Thank you so much for your sharing and your kind visit again on my poem especially my very first one. Have a great and blessed weekend! love and hugs, Leonora

Very well written David,, I thought it was you who lost a child,,, but I see it was for Holly. The feeling is not a good one at all. I know the feeling. I guess one learns to live with the memories.

Your write is shattering. I can barely read this. Not that it isn't lovely, deep, it is just that I am reading my worst nightmare and one that I can not imagine surviving. There has been a great deal of horror in the news here, I am so raw with emotion I can no longer turn on the 'telly.' Type in Drummondville in google, you will understand. How? Why? When their are others who would rip their own hearts from their chests for their children? Bless you hon. Hugs to the Mrs. :) Cyndi

sad..to think this is just a piece of the way a parent might feel when loosing a child.i could never imagine, and hope to never know the feeling. but in your write, the message gives off a hint of beauty. (: ~Always&Forever Lynette

Hi David, Thanks for the good thoughts on success, but really success isn't measured by money, unfortuantely, we need it to get by. This hit my heart, as I have had the loss of a child many years ago. Gods love is so tremendous, it is He that soothes the tears through Christ Jesus. Its hard. Got my heart on the floor.

Hi Holly I tried to convey how I know you feel (or I think I know ), at the same time trying not to offend you, I am glad you like it and I do so want you to keep writing, I will always be here for you...and thank you to those people who have left very kind comments....David

My dearest friend, David...you have put my feelings on screen for myself and others who have had to endure such pain. It is the most beautiful poem of yours I've read. I search for the pin-head of light.. We've become good friends through this. You are a source of strength always encouraging me and giving me good advice. This poem encapsulates exactly how I feel. And, I know Joshua is proud of your talent. I'm sure he was reading it with me....Everything always...xxoo Holly Moore
