"BY YOUR OWN HAND"
By your own hand, you did this thing.  My heart is broken, no more to sing.  I can't believe you wanted to leave,  Deserting me here to cry and to grieve.  I see your face when you were a little boy,  I loved you so much, you filled me with joy.  We talked and we talked, I thought you understood.  I didn't realize that you never would.  Your mind was so troubled, filled with despair,  I tried to help, you knew that I cared.  My only son, "WHY DID YOU LEAVE,"  I can never know why, I can only grieve.  Every father wants a son, that much is true,  I didn't know I would have you, only to lose you too.

Welcome calro2

Terrific poem... but a sad subject. (By terrific, I meant it is written well - you have obviously put your heart and soul into it)
