Ann Gilmour Poet Free verse

Two Years Now Gone

A yellow dawn two years now gone
A yellow rose to mark the day
The day when you were taken son
For even now I wonder why through endless tears I cry
My darling son ~ my only one ~ taken far too soon
I had no chance to hold your hand or even say goodbye...

Written 18th October 2021
This day two years ago my only son was taken far too soon ~ aged just 49...

Mv Venkataraman October 30, 2021 at 3:14 AM As per Hinduism, losing one's children or living forever away from them is the worst kind of sorrow/ Never give your parents that sorrow by properly maintaining your health/ But, if God uses some other tactics to snatch your life for some reason/ Then, that God alone is to blame and we can be peaceful/ God's inscrutable laws finish some lives in a short span and do we call it as fate? Ann Gilmour October 30, 2021 at 11:34 AM Thank you so much for your words, I truly appreciate them. With kindest thoughts Ann xx
