Jake's Poem

Pain and sorrow are my best friends, We walk this road that never ends, Pain rips my heart in early morning light, Sorrow causes tears as I fall asleep at night, I dream of happier days that, sadly, have gone by, When I could see your little face and know you were alright, But now I’m here without you, my world is dark and gray, Pain and sorrow keep me company, by my side they always stay, A part of me was buried too the day we said goodbye, My tears mingled with the rain as I knelt there and cried, Oh pain will you haunt me, forever never cease? Oh sorrow will you always cling, my heart never ease? What I wouldn’t give to have spent another day with you But I know you were suffering and now your pain is through, You’re free to run and play under heavens beautiful blue sky, No more worries or pain for you, your soul is free to fly, So until we meet again, my son, please know this much is true, Your mother always remembers and loves and misses you.
