Losing My Boys

Losing my boys 

I lost my son and husband  
thirteen months apart. 
I never thought I’d make it 
with such a broken heart. 

I miss them both all the time 
my memories fall short. 
I wish I had them back again 
I try to be a sport.  

No matter what I say or do 
nothing of this can ever change. 
My life is now a different one 
many things to rearrange. 

And so I sit and cry a lot 
for two men that I lost. 
If God would give me one more chance 
I’d pay at any cost.

Keep crying (to Him), and God will give you that second chance you desire---just probably not n the way that you'd expect. ~ Gershon
