I sit beside you
like you sat
before my crib.

As you began my life,
I am here as yours
may come to an end.

In the pain that bore me
into this special world,
I see the pain trying
to take you away.

Your life have been full
you say you are ready,
I shall miss you
so every second is dear.

If death does open its door,
opening up into the heavens,
your shadow will always fall
into my heart’s love for you.

In sighs of memories
I shall raise your spirit
to the very last breathe
until Dad’s arms take over
cuddling you again.

Your sons will again
hold their mom’s soul
leaving Sis and I
never forgetting you.

Life will begin
as it will end
the cycle of love
will continue
forever.

On family leave in Ohio.

A heartfelt and tender offering -- in my own way, I can relate.

This is a beautiful piece of your heart that
was somehow left on the back pages. I'm sorry.
