Mary Taylor Poet Enclosed Rhyme

Grief

Some days my grief consumes me
It's so hard to believe you're gone
Part of me doesn't want to go on
The part that died when you left me.

I place my hands upon my face
To hide the tears that stream down 
So many cried that I could've drown 
Your lifes gone without a trace

My heart is shattered and broken
Since you've gone I feel so lost and alone
I miss your smile and the smell of your cologne
So many words were left unspoken 

I ask my self often, and I wonder why
Why was my son taken from my life
now he'll never have a child or a wife
So why did my son have to die?

There are no answers to my questions
The who's,  the where's and the whys.
what I'd give to look once more into his eyes.
To once more give motherly suggestions

Be grateful for each day you're given 
Each person you have within your life
For each triumph, and each moment of strife
Allow all wrongdoings to be forgiven

Live your life with no regrets
Love deeply, dance and laugh alot
But don't be anything that you are not 
Make life as good as it gets
