Sweet Child of Mine

The stars they used to bring tears to my eyes Dark skies, I cried as I prayed for daylight You were my fragment of pain I became swallowed in memorys of darkness That used to come and go so haunting, the loss of you Still is killing me, for you were gone so suddenly.. My first child My first love Now all I have left Are the stars above Not to mention The glow of the moon That always reminds me That you were taken too soon Tears fall down my cheeks When your name is spoken, that's when These demons become awoken The heartbreak The despair Losing your child Is too much to bear Sleepless nights Dreams full of terror Seeing the pain in your eyes Everytime you look in the mirror I can look at the stars now With hope, instead of pain You my child, did not die in vain You will live through me, glow bright star Glow.. Glow for me And for all of The mommys to see Be my guidance, keep me from the ledge To you child, this I pledge: I see your glow and I can now smile Though I might shed a tear every once and a while Just because, I'm missing you But I promise I will pull through Thank you spirits Thank you stars For welcoming my child With open arms Keep him safe Give him love And let him know I am with him Everytime I look above..

Karissa, this is so beautifully written. I can't imagine the pain you must have every day of your life. I'm sure it was hard to see thru the tears as you typed this out. I'm very impressed by your ability to push thru the pain to get this written. Outstanding.

It's a daily battle, we must press on but our hearts will forever ache.. Have to fill the void with positivity instead of destruction to build ourselves back up.. Their wouldn't be light without the presence of darkness. I've been finding the light since the birth of my daughter. I see the beauty in life once more though he will never be replaced, he is with me in my soul, always.
