When I first started writing eight months ago after losing my son, It frightened me, I didnt know where it was coming from. After writing about four poems I wrote this one. ******************************** My Inner Soul Never flowing before from me Now words don't seem to stop I don't know where they come from They all just seem to drop I sit at my computer My fingers at the keys Not thinking of a word to say Then my mind does seize I am no longer in control I write with all my inner soul And when I finish all I see Is all the love I have for thee My son, George In memory of my son George I love you and miss you so. Your loving Mom floria [This message has been edited by strbbux (01-26-2002 01:04 PM).] |

Floria, The love for your son will shine in all of the words that you write, I am sure. This is very moving. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

they come spilling out, along with the tears, words that do not process, really, just spill and flow out of the profound burden of love upon which we can no longer see nor touch their target, they just spill, unleashed along with the opening the wound has created beautiful expression of what's happened to your, your heart, your soul Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Hello Floria Your words said exactly what I feel when I write. My writing began after my father died and came like a bolt out of the blue. It has become a passion for me and is also very much a bearing of my soul. Many people don't even know that I write and I have found my writing to be a great release for me. Let your beautiful words continue to flow and allow us to enjoy words from your kind soul. I am so sorry for your loss and I have no doubt that George would be so proud of his mother and her wonderful achievements. Take care.....Sue Suetang |

Sue, thank you so very much for your kind words. I am sorry that you lost your father. Isn't it strange how writing will just come out of you after a trauma. I never wrote a word in my life. I do paint. I paint in oils, but I have never written a word. It just happened, and I am so glad it did. The only heartbreak to me is that although I have three other grown children and of course my husband, My son George was my cheer leader. He most admired my work, and he was my best friend. thanks for the kindness. floria Floria |

Hi floria! Thanks for sharing your beautiful tribute to George. I'm sure that he is watching and crying tears of happiness with you, knowing that a day will soon come when the two of you will again be together. Just stay close to God and your spirits will join as you share God's glories together. -newell Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |

I am truly sorry about your son. I am new to this board and just feeling my way around and trying to read each day's new poems. As a mother myself, I cannot imagine anything worse than loosing a child. I hope writing and expressing your feelings helps a little and brings you some comfort.

I am so very proud of you, Floria... I know what its like to lose a grown child. Its the hardest thing in the world...but you have found a measure of solace through your writing and that is very important! And you do such a wonderful job that I am sure that George is proud to be your inspiration.  copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

Magnus, that must have been so hard on you. You were only 23? Oh my, that had to be as difficult as what I am going through. Losing a mother at that age just is not supposed to be. Thanks Magnus for your kind reply. floria Floria |

Floria, my heart goes out to you, and I empathize with this kind of grief, as I too have had quite a year of losses. When I sit and write out that pain it is like a huge weight off of me. By sharing your heart and heartache, so many are touched, and what a healing process. This was a beautiful tribute to your son and from the Mother of an only son, I can't even imagine your pain, may he lift you when you are down. ~* CARPE' DIEM *~ |
