you say you are still here you say that Dad is with you you tell me not to fear in my dreams I see you alive and full of fun downloading music that you love from mp3.com in my dreams I see you treating patients needing care a stethescope slung round your neck your tawny, touseled hair in my dreams I see you I wish you still were here instead, I waken from my sleep my mind awash with fear so vivid was your manner your voice and look so real I question, did I dream you and will this hurt ever heal?  |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Lyra, this is soooooooo beautiful but I could feel such sadness in the end, my heart goes out to you and I know deep down he will always be with you in your heart and will always love you for who you are, and may these memories forever bring smiles to your face! (kiss on chek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, I am always here for you if you need someone to talk to, my heart is with you always! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lyra, thank you for sharing!   May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Memories are, at times, simultaneously painful and wonderful. Soon the pain will diminish leaving more room for happy reflection. Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

He is still with you bringing you love. Only spirits are alive. Some day you'll understand why we sometimes part for a short time. This is very, very beautiful, Madame. Thank you for sharing it. ((Madame)) -newell Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |

Dear Lyra, It doesn't take you 3 lines to have me crying. I don't suppose such a hurt could ever heal. If I lost one of my boys I don't think I'd survive it. I admire your courage. Nan |

Oh Lyra, I think the hurt never goes away, nor missing them. But I think we get stronger every day with faith and love and writing as you are doing. This was a very beautful poem. I could just see him. you are always in my prayers. floria Floria |

Newell, thanks for your reply...and I sure hope that you are right about being apart for only a short time...although, I hope its not TOO short, because I kind of still like this life, here on earth.  copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

Thanks so much, Nan...I don't think I'm brave, My life just happened in that way and I just have to accept it because theres nothing else I can really do about it. Its one of the hardest things...to lose a child. But thanks for your gracious compliment as well as for the reply.  copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |
