Daniel

It has been four months
when my life was changed
my son was taken
Daniel was his name

A mothers love 
is whole and complete
her life is her children
atleast for me

There is not a day
I don't call his name
remembering his life
now nothing is the same

Those all night talks
that he and I shared
over coffee and tears
he knew that I cared

A heart so full
of compassion and love
he tried to please everyone
he couldn't do enough

I see him now
with that cute little grin
holding the door open
saying "mom, come in"

I lost a brother at the age of 16, he was 19. It was tough and still is, but it was toughest on my mother. She never got over it , just learned to persevere. ~ thanks for sharing
