In loving memory of Michael Knight…
How can it look the same, this world that seems to drone?
Why does my heart not explain, why is it I feel, so alone?
One minute you’re there, and the next, you are gone
Life is now harder to bear, how will we… I, go on?
They say you’re in a better place, I am filled with unrest
My heart now has an empty space, heavy, inside my chest
We will meet again, my son, when the world has let me go
Until that time, I remain here, saddened, and missing you so
I wrote this after reading of the death of a child. Our dear blog friend, Derrick Knight, lost his eldest son, Michael. It was sudden, unexpected. May Michael rest in peace and may God watch over Derrick, Jackie and the family.

Oh, my God, it is most compassionate of you to write this poem for your blogger friend. What a tragedy. I think this is the worst thing that can happen to parents, the ultimate nightmare. Blessings and strength to the family 💖
