Mintra Mankasingh Poet Free verse

My Late Son

They say, all good things must end 
I am not a perfect person 
don't mourn for me 
I'll stand by you forever, you said 
forever in love 
time torments the soul 

But I am still here
Always very near
Always with a tear


Written my MjMankasingh July 2019

Richard Lamoureux July 31, 2019 at 9:20 AM A pain that is beyond anything on can imagine. So sorry for your loss. Some promises people are not able to keep. Hugs Rick. Mintra Mankasingh July 31, 2019 at 11:14 AM Thank You Richard. It certainly an experience that I have to live everyday without thinking about the pain. IT is absolutely devastating and after 20 years it is still absolutely devastating. Hopefully I will see him again.

Jan Allison July 29, 2019 at 7:12 PM An absolutely heartbreaking poem, so sad when you lose a child i can't being to imagine the pain. I would classify this as free verse it doesn't fit the limerick form. hugs jan xx Mintra Mankasingh July 30, 2019 at 9:49 AM Thank you. It has been 20 years and the pain is still as if it happened yesterday. It is now a free verse. Thank you
