21. The Loss Of A Child's Father
Your loss came so unexpectedly.
I thought many more years we would have to share.
But God had another plan
and at times the loss and grief are things I just can't bear.

I had to respond and thank you for your posting and story. I too lost my partner, husband, and best friend in May of 2010 when our son was only 14 months old. Had it not been for that...

Nevermore
will I see your smiling face,
will I feel your strong firm embrace.
will I wish upon the starry skies,
I lost my husband 23 years ago after 20 years of marriage and 2 sons. The night after he passed I was outside crying. I looked up to see a full moon. I vowed that I would remember him every...

Here I sit, all alone
in my quiet, empty home.
Where do broken hearts go
on this sweethearts' day?
Poet Introduction
Alone in my darkness I still see your face,
sometimes your presence and your warm embrace.
I look 'round the house; it's calling your name,
but nothing I see here quite feels the same.
Poet Introduction
I have so many different masks.
I wear them one by one.
I see them in a pile
When my day is finally done.
Staring at the little dots in the sky
Wondering which one is you
Asking the same question, why?
Only answer I know is that you knew.

Poet Introduction
I'm dreading Christmastime this year
Because I have so much to fear:
An empty space beside my chair,

Poet Introduction
I would follow you into the dark
If you didn't leave me so much to live for.
I would follow you into the light
If I knew you knocked on heaven's door.

Alone with the raging in my soul,
I know not where to turn.
I have opened up to some,
But this raging makes me burn.
TJ Illinois - my heart goes out to you and your family. My husband passed away 1-27-16. It has only been 5 or so months and the pain is as sharp as the day he passed away. He lost his...
Poet Introduction
I left a simple rose today.
I laid it down upon your grave.
Then memories came rushing - from the past,
of our lives together; we said it would last.
Poet Introduction
A song plays, indicating a start of a journey.
A woman sobs loudly, mourning her husband.
One last chance to tell him all she wants,
she just stands and stares, with her tears falling.
I too am a veteran's widow. Words cannot express the sadness and compassion I feel for all who had to hear the dreaded "Taps." I am very recently widowed and cry oceans of tears since losing...
Poet Introduction
The years have gone so fast, so slow,
The seasons spinning round as years drift by.
I miss the looks we shared, the smiles,
The warming touch of gentle hands.
