Ryan My Son

Ryan my son, when i visit you I am glad to be so near Ryan my son when I visit you It hurts so bad to see you there Ryan my son when I visit you I see where friends have been before Ryan my son when I visit you The gifts from friends I do adore Ryan my son when I visit you I think of memories I want to keep Ryan my son when I visit you The pain I have, it runs so deep Ryan my son when I visit you I speak with quivered words Ryan my son when I visit you I hope my words don't go unheard Ryan my son when I visit you I can't see you, but I know that you are here Ryan my son when I visit you The grave you're in Is filled with all my tears

Steve! I do understand your talking to your son. Keep writing your poetry, it's moving and reminds us...that life is finite. Well written! Panagiota

My son died in a car accident on a rainy Sept. day in 2017. Writing I have found is the only thing that shows any signs of healing in my heart. Thank you for reading.

Welcome to Poetry Soup. This poem is heartfelt, and calls to my soul. I am sure Ryan hears you, and possibly sees you also. I am sure.
