My Son--My Baby Boy Twas forty short years ago, When, I first heard his cry. This tiny boy with golden hair. And large brown twinkling eyes. Just forty short years ago. 'Twas a pleasure to hear his cry. And the child grew to become such a man. Only to die! Only to die! The grave now covered with leaves. And flowers strewn about. The headstone black that holds his name. Forever I shall feel without. He was the most wonderful son. And so filled my heart with joy. Oh how I miss, the man, my son. The child, my baby boy.

Oh, this is so heartwrenching just to read. I can't begin to imagine how hard this was& is on you! I have a one year old son and just the thought of anything happening to him scares the heck out of me. I'm so sorry for your loss, children are so special, especially to their mother. This was so sad, but beautifully written! Love, Bonnie |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Floria, this is sooooooo heartbreaking, I know how it must feel to lose a child so dear, and my heart cries out to you! (big hugggssssss) My heart goes out to you, but I know deep down that he is always smiling up there, guiding you with his love, and his love will always shine in your heart! (sad sigh) My heart goes out to you, sweet friend, God Bless You! We all love you so much, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Floria, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Floria, my heart goes out to you in your loss, but what a blessing to have had such a wonderful son in your life, if only for what seems like a blink of an eye. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

strbbux, to lose a grown child has to be the worse loss for any mother. God be with you. No words will take that pain from you. I send hugs and hope you find peace. Thanks for sharing, ME |

Floria...my day has been sort of emotional to begin with...with joy... Now...I feel emotions again...I feel your loss...the sadness...I didn't lose a child.. I lost a mother...the same age as your son.. many years ago...I feel that loss many times. I know you do as well...We want to be able to turn around and find them there...they are not...But..like you...I have many many memories of her to cherish and keep till my own death...And I know...you do as well... Thank you very much for sharing this part of your life with us...For that is what it is.. It is not a poem...it is a part of you...of him as well.. Barry |

Barry, thank you so very much for your kind words. The hurt just does not go away, I get stronger, and I heal a little at a time, But it is as if stepping on an ant. Just like that, gone. It is very hard and I see you know as you have been through it..I am sorry for you loss, yes it's been awhile but that doesn't make any difference. A loss is a loss and always will be, till we see them again. thank you so very much Barry, floria |

There are, of course, no words one can say to adequately console you for your loss. All one can do is put an arm around your shoulder and give a gentle hug. Please accept mine...... |

Dear Floria, I'm sorry for your loss. You poem has made me cry. I have two sons, and I pray that I'll go first. I don't think I could survive the loss. I admire your strength, and hope that you continue to heal. Nan |

Nan thank you so much, That's what I thought , that I would go first, and when there is no illness and they go so fast without a hint of warning, It is devastating. thanks, floria |
