My Son

I see the flowers on my nightstand
His picture is on the wall.
His car sits in the driveway
His friends still call.
Why did you take him away from me
Why did I let him go?
How could it have happened
Why must it be so?
So many words unsaid
So many things undone.
He was my pride and joy
My one and only son.
I just don’t understand
I can only ask why.
Why did you take my son
Why did he have to die?
