Why - I Ask

Each day as I awaken for to see your smiling face
It brings a tear my darling boy for you’re no longer here
My only son I miss you so ~ you were my only child
Were you told and did you know that fateful day you had to go
You were taken far too soon son ~ taken without warning
Why ~ I ask each day as I awaken every brand new dawning

To lose a son at such a young age is no joke, Time takes longer to console yourself. Hugs.

The pain of loss is so hard to bear Ann, we look for answers but they seem to fall on deaf ears. Hope you're well. Tom

Yes Tom, when I see his photo I just cannot believe he went so soon and this question always comes to mind. why and where are you? and then my tears flow. So difficult to come to terms with. With kindest thoughts Ann xx
