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.
