I Remember
I remember holding you
on this rock beside the sea.
Holding you within my arms
as you sat upon my knees.
Then I would let you down
and you would run across the sand
picking up the seashells.
You always thought they were so grand.
Soon Mommy would come join us
and you would show us your new prize.
You would ask us where they came from
with bewilderment in your eyes.
We would tell you as you sat with us
listening to what we said
and then you would return to the beach
for more treasure up ahead.
It has been some time now
since you were that little boy.
Time can take those moments
but not the memories and joy.
We will always have those warm pictures
of you within our hearts.
Though you are now in heaven
we will never be apart.

This write sounded like fond memories of one's child when they were little. I was not ready for that last verse which brought tears to my eyes.

It does help, but it is still so sad. My best friend lost her first-born child, though fully grown, five years ago. It was a sudden death and she was so heart-torn that she went into seclusion for several months and wouldn't speak to anyone but her husband and remaining two children. I, too, was heart-torn, not only for her loss, but for fear of my loss of her as she is closer to me than my sisters. I wanted to be there for her and know that she was okay. Finally she saw a professional who helped her through it and at the proffesional urgings, she contacted me and I was able to be part of helping her to heal. We are now back to our regular life-long friendship and she is able to talk freely about her daughter again, though, of course, the pain of the loss will never go away.

My sister and her husband lost their 16 years old boy several years ago. Though fictional this spoke to me deeply. I felt the emotions that were so real for me. Well done indeed my friend.
