Notes About The Poem

Picking Up the Pieces

You left us so suddenly, 
Never expected this day to come.
How can I be both? 
A father and  mother to our son?

I can not make this one better, 
I can't kiss his pain away.
I can not give him his one wish, 
That you were here today. 

Even though he is a grown man, 
He is still a boy inside.
I can not stand to see his pain, 
When i look into his eyes.

I can only do the best I can, 
To be all that he needs.
Until one day you reunite,
for Eternity.
