BRIGHT SHINING ONE

“Bright Shining One”
(by Michelle L. LeBlanc 05/12/2024)
Dedicated to my son, Jayden Donald LeBlanc 

Today as the Sun is shining
I think of my beautiful Son
Though some may see him in the ground
I see him as my Bright Shining One

His Love lights up my life
His Memories warm my heart
The Joy he brought to my life
Has been with me from the start

Though I may not see him now
I know that he is there
His consciousness ever glowing
His laughter everywhere!

People don't know how I do it
I can't say I know myself
But there's something in my heart
That will not stay hidden on a shelf

My heart fills with love
There's a sparkle in my eye
I connect with him in spirit
Not as one who has died

I did not come to this conclusion
Because of the pain in my heart
But because my son has made it clear
That he never left me from the start

And though this may be Mother's Day
I still have three beautiful boys
Not a single one of them is missing
This heart has not been destroyed!
