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

Myself being a Christian I also carry the hope of being reunited with my loved ones who have gone before me.

A pain that is beyond anything on can imagine. So sorry for your loss. Some promises people are not able to keep. Hugs Rick.

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.

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

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
