When times were looking up
And happy smiles were easier to come by
Our world was shattered by a death
So hard to bear

How do you tell a little boy
About a god of love and mercy
That would take his mommy
And leave him all alone


Please god help me understand
Some things are always for the better
But it ain’t me I’m really
All concerned about
Help Little Randy understand
And help him Someday
Be a big man
For the mother he has got to live without.

Oh daddy daddy
Please tell mommy to come home
I miss her so
Son I can’t tell mommy nothing
Anymore, Our father up in heaven
Took her home where she should be

But daddy,
I thought she wanted
To be here with me.

Very good poetry...

Thank you MsTeddy ,, I wrote that soon after my wife was killed in a car wreck in 1999. She left me with a 3 year old son.

Darlin how touching. tears in my eyes. Eaier for us as adults to understand death. A child's innocence shattered.

You and Randy have all my love

Very touching indeed. The innocence of a child is hard to bear with their grief. I'm putting this in a kind way, maybe she found Laci for you to take up your heart, so that you won't be lonely anymore. I hope the two of you the best of luck, friendship, and peace in your lives. All three of you.

there are some things in life
we look for always

we see them - there
out of reach

we hear them - quietly
telling a story

we have their scent - lingering
on our sheets

we taste their - sadness
in our tears

we feel them - deep
inside

where there are no words

at a loss, you should write more tommy
very touching

Thanks Jack, I've written a few more like this, but I've never shared the others with anyone.

Thank you Wolf, I've read some of yours and , I don't come close to your style of writing, Excellent.

Laci and I are both taking new paths in our lives and I believe we will be taking that path together.

It's so sad and beautifully written........

Heartfelt & beautiful ..

Tugs at my heartstrings...

Ohhhh my that just dropped my heart Tommy
very good write that went straight to my heart and
grabbed my soul.

You really should write more.

so touching about a very personal loss.
glad you found someone to bring a smile to your face

simple and poignant. I really liked it... it's so hard to tell kids about death... Theres a short story called "Waterbugs and Dragonflies" that helped me in a time of loss, and I think you may appreciate it to. I wish you much luck in your future.
