Sometimes it Hurts

Too Soon

The Mother cries

For the life She had to take

For the hearts She had to break

Not because it was his time

Not because it was our time

But because it was Her time

So gently She weeps

As the tears roll down our cheeks.

Blood Tells

I am not a mother

Yet I am their Mom, their grandma and

I was his Great Grandmother

We only met twice,

Yet he was my baby

Blood is not the only connection

Family is of the soul

He will be missed

Another piece of my heart  taken early

Dad

My heart hurts.

My stomach turns.

My tears fall.

I miss you.

You were my rock.

You were our shelter.

You are Dad…

And you are gone.

I remember

And I weep

I ache

And I burn.

I know you walk beside me.

I wish I could feel your hug.

You would love him too.

It’s what makes me so very sad.

Tomorrow is forever

Today will go away

The past is a fading memory.

Stay in my heart

Know my dreams

See my joys

Feel my sorrows.

Kiss my hurts

Heal my wounds

Patch the scrapes

I miss you

I love you

I need you

Father 

Poetry comes from a place deep inside me. Sometimes it hurts.  I cry while I write, but I still get it out.  Why?  Because sometimes it is supposed to hurt.  You don't get away with living life without pain. Sometimes life hurts.  There is nothing wrong with that. It is the way it is supposed to be. Sorrow is how we heal.  Let your life be a life.
