Children are full of expectations

Except, they never get their way

A mother looks for explanations

Except, she doesn’t know what to say

A father looks at his son as his twin

Except, the son moves on, despite

To build a life with a wife, who adores him

Except, when he always thinks he’s right

Each looks at the other, from different points of view

Except, no one really knows, what the right thing is, to do

Why? ~ #poetry of sadness

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.

Joy Fills the World ~ #poetry # God #DecemberWriting

He spews hell’s flame, like venom
Fiery eyes, poisoned tears, erupting
An evilness, lurking, across his face
This is the time, he finds disrupting

Too many humans, spreading the word

Oh, how he thought, this is so absurd

A battle he knew, would never be won

He was outnumbered, by Father and Son

Waiting, his minions, there at his feet
Watching the time slip, slowly away
No one came calling, he felt the defeat
Perhaps, another time, another day

Rejoicing sounds, from high above

Joy fills the World, with God’s Holy Love

No Matter the Distance ~ #poetry

Please don’t let go, mommy!

I can still hear him cry

Seems like only yesterday

But how the years go by

Once counted on for everything

He’s got his own life now

But should he ever need me

I’ll get to him, somehow

For no matter the distance

Nothing can keep us apart

For that little boy, all those years ago

Is the one who stole my heart
