Notes About The Poem

Drummer Boy

I have no comfort,
to bring to you… 
No drum to start a song. 
No gift for innocence. 

I have never lost a child. 
Let me cry now.

My most precious prayers,
to our heavenly Lord,
for every comfort, 
“You” will…need…

I can bring you a pie, 
I will bake it from scratch. 
I will cut fresh flowers from,
my angel’s garden patch. 
 
Above all the rest, I will kneel. 

I have no comfort, yet “its” here.
An answer to “all” and “every”, fear.
 
I will hug you and cry again. 
The truest fact, my heart will…
Never stop, as I hope and pray
I will never know…

Loss, 
as I now know sorrow,
in my deepest heart,
for my friend, 

You.
