Today I mourn with a friend.
Wrote this down – perhaps to express my own grief with what happened as I also have children.
“Gone too Soon”
Happiness, joy, jubilance
These are some of the emotions that coursed through me
When you entered the world
My boy, My little one
Pain, pangs, excruciating
They all flew away when you took your first breath
Replaced by relief and smiles
You are amazing
Peace, stability, security
All I imagined to provide and give as you grew
I thought we would have years
My son, my little one
Shocked, unsure, rattled
I felt a whirlwind in my soul crash against my heart
When I heard the news unsettling
I held you close and fast
Grief, despair, fear
Trying to get a tight grip on my mind and drown me
I saw all the things they did
All to keep you alive
Empty, Hollow, abandoned
I let myself drift into stasis for but a glimpse
As I held your hand cold
Devoid of life and suffering
Hope, faith, love
What do I have to hold on to but Christ?
You were gone too soon
Gone but always there
