13 years

Still missing you
With each memory
Good thoughts of you
Survive
Lasting forever
Like a lasting melody

I wonder sometimes
How things would be
If you were still here

I picture you
With a lovely wife
Perhaps a baby or two
Sitting on your knee
You singing
"Horsey Horsey"
Went to town
Look at Horsey
Horsey fall down.
Just like long ago I did with you.
Your children laughing
With glee
Loving you
Just as much
As you loved me

Those happy times
When you were small
I remember them all
Those funny things
That happened
That made me smile

You were my little man
You grew quickly
Then just as you
Were leaving home
You told us “see you soon”
Your good bye
Took you across the great divide
Into the arms of Abraham’s bosom
To live with Jesus

As I approach my time to go
I will have no fear
For you and Jesus will meet me
Upon the other side
I will know you at the very first glance
For your face is still
Engraved upon my mind and heart
Your voice still calls out for me
Soon our tears will be tears of joy
Just like the tears I cried when you were born
Those happy tears that happen
When you are so filled with joy
The overflowing joy
That can’t be contained
That’s what I’m looking forward to

Dedicated to my son who passed away 13 years ago today the age of 18.

Was it 13 years or 13 seconds or 13 milliseconds? I understand. It's been ten years or milliseconds for us.

Knowledge is a defense and money is a defense, but the excellency of wisdom is that it gives life to them that have it.

Very touching to a mother who has felt your pain.  It was 8 years ago for me but he was allowed to grow up and live life as a wonderful adult before leaving us.It could have been yesterday.  My love to you Songbird.  Your poetry says it well.  Love, Joyce
