Sorrowful Tears (villanelle)

Sorrowful tears of heaven fall on me.
Sadness fills my heart and soul this day.
He is no longer here and ne'er shall be.

How did this misery fall down on me?
Now with a heavy heart I kneel to pray.
Sorrowful tears of heaven fall on me.

A time there was when my heart felt so free.
Another year another day that was.
He is no longer here and ne'er shall be.

My mind goes back in time, in memory.
Of happy days when we would laugh and play.
Sorrowful tears of heaven fall on me.

But other plans God made for his destiny.
He called my son back home to Him that day.
He is no longer here and ne'er shall be.

One day again we'll meet eternally.
But until then my grief and sorrow stay.
Sorrowful tears of heaven fall on me.
He is no longer here and ne'er shall be.

Floria darling girl this is simply outstanding writing. Again flawless and perfectly presented. What can I say but this is exceptional. Wonderful flow and rhythm as you seem to always do.

The sadness throbs through this absolutely fabulous and outstanding piece of writing. YOU are an excellent writer and I’m awed by your ability to portray such emotion. This is utterly utterly fabulous writing


Love and warm stuff

floria, dear friend. I share your sweet sorrow of separation. And I know that your son awaits you with more love than you could ever imagine. It will be worth it all when you see him, again.

Oh Floria, I cannot imagine the pain it is to lose a child. It is hard enough when it is an older relative. Bless you for even having the strength to carry on.

Thank you Sandra, we don't really get a choice, We carry on because we have to for other family members and God wants us to. I guess facing the reality of it is the hardest thing, but there is nothing one can do but accept it. It does hurt, thanks dear. floria
