Notes About The Poem

 

Dedicated to all those who who suffer depression or sadness or loss, especially children, but this is for someone special, they know who they are and I wish them well!!!!!!!!!

One Thirty In the Morning

Why do the young
Still bleed without hurt?

Have we stolen infants dreams?
Childhoods should not contain screams

Suicide is a deadly game
If only love could wipe away the shame

Raindrops on flowers
Meadows bloom, nothing is sour

Child let me take you in my arms
So young you deserve only love and no harm

I will  burn all your sadness away
If only for a smile, you cry out I want to stay

Your heart seeps into the hearts of many
Your love shines, depression your enemy

I am far, we have never met
For that I would hug you, and say

The world needs you, don't go just yet
The winds brings a hug that begs you to stay

Arthur, your poem gave me some tears, but this is a message that needs to be heard. Sometimes people wonder how they missed the warning signs when a young person takes their life. A big hug goes out to you...

How lovely to show this person they are needed when depression's power is to strip that belief away.
