Forever entrenched
Visions of hands wrapped
Childhood plays on misty days
Tears flowed the day you went away

Laughter,and candles
Bright lights, darkness
Songs of happiness
Face full of crumbles

Flowers, many a pile
Stones that portray a smile
Of a child lost forever
Broken and hurt I shiver
As I try to turn around

I cannot play and see you again
Treasured though are the memories
Bruised to the knees
We played in the rain

So young, you left
Bald,like me you closed
Eyes to the night
Hands held so tight
Morning came, birds singing
You kept on sleeping
As the tears flowed

Welcome...and if you ever need anyone to talk with, feel free to contact me.  I've lost a lot of close friends in the past few years.  *hugs*  Very well written.  

With a little piece of tomorrow,
You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye.
Because today won't last forever,
And the past will only make you cry.

JD~
What a very touching render.
Welcome to the posting side of Passions.
You'll fit right in nicely.

You squeezed my heart with these thoughts.
Very well-written, in my opinion.

Daniel,

Welcome to the Passions family. May you find many friends and much comfort here.
The loss of a child has got the be the worst pain a person could feel.
I'm so sorry and I hope that you are able to find comfort.
You and your precious one are in my thoughts and prayers.
