In memory

Tearfully I wonder if the choice was right Questions run rampantly through my weary mind His little face that solemn day replays throughout my lonely night What emotions must have burdened his fragile soul Every day I pray that he understands my reasons why How my heart broke seeing his fear and pain I couldn’t save him or comfort him; no matter how I tried Pain and sorrow follow me along my journey now Heart broken in tiny, sharp pieces scattered all around All the memories of what he meant will guide me through somehow Gone so young, so much left to live How I wish God could have granted me more days In each day I try to find a message of his love in nature’s majestic view Wondering if his spirit is around; do you hear what I say Now my days I must face with one less loving friend Though your journey brings you far away Your memory and loving bond will never end Rest in peace my dear sweet boy Travel with the angels now I will carry on some way Somehow This poem was written for Patches Hewitt March 7,2024 -June 25,2024 Written on: July 10,2024
