Re: Help us celebrate Dylan's Angel Anniversary

Chrissy

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.
