This one needs no explanation.
Four Months Ago Today
Life does not stop
for sorrow, to let it out or in
the sun rises as always,
the Earth retains its spin.
I go to the same
places, follow the same routine,
though nights are
sometimes sleepless and days are sometimes grim.
Four months today,
you went away at God’s appointed time.
I know you live in
heaven now--and in my heart and mind.
I prayed the Lord
would show you that He is real and good
and now you see him
face to face, as I wish so wish I could.
Yet God is good, as
always, his blessings bring me joy.
I still have all my
memories of you, my much loved boy.
God changed my life
forever the day I gave you birth,
and changed my life
for this short span the day you left the earth.
Life does not stop
for sorrow, neither, it seems, can I.
No words within a
parent’s heart can tell their child goodbye.
I, like the sun, keep
moving through my appointed days
and miss the son that
heaven gained, four months ago today.
