Often I Think of Him

Often I think of him his sweet quick smile bright blue eyes smooth clear skin I dream of him water skiing playing ball hockey with friends so young and strong sometimes he is reaching for me for a goodby hug which hurts the most because he never did say goodby the night he died it was so sudden there was no time to really know what was happening my last embrace of shock and pain so sharp it could have been a knife piercing my very soul a vicious kick in the stomach an agony like no other none even close since my boy, my child my heart ripped out ragged and torn throbbing in wait of relief from a constant nightmare

Betty, I feel as though I know you; I certainly know your pain. I felt each line myself when my son died. Thank you, friend, for commenting on my poems.
