Ann Gilmour Poet Free verse

Beloved Boys

Gone too soon ~ my one true love, your soul upon a mourning dove
Miss your hugs when on that day then cancer took your breath away
Gone too soon ~ my sweetest son, so young, so sudden, my only one
Beloved ‘boys’ I am bereft, all alone with nothing left

Michael Craig January 23, 2020 at 10:15 AM It must have been very hard to write this poem, it is so filled with pain only a mother can feel. - Ann Ann Gilmour January 23, 2020 at 11:57 AM Yes but in a way it became cathartic and released some of my pain. Thank you Michael for your kind visit. With kindest thoughts Ann xx
