My heart goes out to you. I wrote this poem six years after losing our son in 1996. I know the pain you are feeling. It does ease, very gradually, I promise. I love the term "Angel Anniversary" - I will be using that in future. Thank you for sharing.
A MOTHER TO A SON
It's been six years, my little lad
And still I miss you so
My empty arms still ache to hold
And never let you go.
I know you couldn't stay with me
You were destined not to live
But that doesn't stop me wanting you
I have so much love to give.
My darling son, I miss you
Those around can't understand
It's been six years, they say to me
Let go - he's in God's hands.
Maybe I should have tried again
To create another life
Maybe I wouldn't hurt so much
As a mother and a wife.
So another year drifts past me
Yet this aching doesn't ease
And my eyes cloud up with teardrops
As my fingers find the keys.
God bless - my little angel
My precious little man
And I'll always remember you
As only a mother can.
