No one tells you how much your life will change
when a loved one is ripped from your life suddenly
It begins as surviving minute by minute,
then changes to day by day, just learning to exist
with a hole in your life that used to be alive and vibrant
but there are times that stop you in your tracks,
when memories hit and flood you with feelings
that overwhelm you, and you have to handle them
so that you can function and you wish for the numbness
that you experienced right after he died
Numbness is no way to live, but overwhelm isn't
much fun either, and it comes often these days
When someone asks me what is wrong, the answer
is "I Miss My Son" and life is very hard without him!
My babies have all gone,
They've grown and left the nest,
Spreading out their wings to fly,
Upon life's thrilling quest.
The years flew by so quickly.
Babies turned into little boys.
Little boys grew into manhood,
Putting away their childish toys.
I miss those little boy faces,
With their mischievous, winsome smiles.
I miss their childish chatter,
And their creative little boy wiles.
Why didn't I pay more attention?
Why didn't I play with them more?
Why didn't I realize how fleeting time was?
But I didn't and it makes my heart sore.
I miss the little boys that my sons were,
But I'm proud of the men they've grown to be.
They will always be my little boys,
And I will treasure each and every memory.
