No words I write could ever say
How sad and empty I feel today.
The angels came for you
Much sooner than I planned.
I'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
And I'll try my best understand.
Why did you have to go away?
Why wasn't it right for you to stay?
In my heart you will always be.
I love you dearly and I know you'll watch over me.
What I'm suffering seems so unfair,
But one thing is for certain
My love for you will always be there.
My son you always will be,
The most important part of my heart's memory.
I'll cherish the moments I held you in my arms,
And I'm sure that if you had stayed longer,
You would have graced me with your charms.
A thousand words won't bring you back
I know because I've tried.
Neither will a thousand tears;
I know because I've cried.
Now you're up in Heaven
With the angels up above.
They will take my place for now,
And they'll give you all their love,
So go and rest in peace now,
My little boy so dear,
For all my love and memories
I will hold forever near.
Poem For Nephew's Funeral
Yes, this poem touched me too much. I lost my son in the sea. He was only 17 years old. A very handsome boy. I wish to see his face again and hug, kiss, and tell him how much I love him.

I'm so sorry for your loss I also lost my only son with Leukemia on December 22, 2001. The loss of any child is so heartbreaking I would have never thought I was never going to lose him. He was diagnosed at the age of 18 and he passed away three years later so I share your loss they will always be in our prayers and memories forever, God bless you and take care.
