Harisson

One day when you are big and strong 
I will explain to you the confusion
the reasons behind the way it is
and why you are the one thing that has kept me going 

On that warm day in June 
when the angels took Liliana 
it was you that helped me rebuild my life
you were the focus in my life

Two years old and my saviour
the person I have to thank for life
your smile stopped the tears 
and your laughter raised me up

To my boy, Harisson
In your little two years of life
you have brought me through the dark 
and are my light at the end of this dark tunnel

The joy your child brings to you gives the reader some a warm feeling, Amy. While I'm very sorry for your loss of Liliana, it is wonderful that Harisson was there to help you find the strength to rebuild your life. Genuinely moving poetry. Love, Carolyn
