Remembering You Poem

My son you meant the world to me.

The moment I saw you my heart swelled with love, and

It was as if you knew how much you were wanted, the way you opened your

eyes and looked up at me as if you could see my very soul, touched me.

So innocent, so small and vulnerable, yet I could also feel a strength inside

you. I knew you would make your mark in the world one day.

.

Little did I know that at 30 you would be gone,

and my heart would break into tiny pieces.

Why Andrew? I have asked myself this question every day,

but all I hear is the echo of my own voice crying out in pain.

You had a future if only you had realised how much you were loved by

everyone, how caring you were always thinking of everyone else.

I miss you so much son, my life is empty, sorrow grows.

The days and nights are long, sometimes all I think of are memories of you.

Other days tears cascade down my cheeks like a river that never ends,

then I hear your voice saying I am here, don't cry I am at peace.

Live your life for me, remember me but don't dwell too much

For one day we will be together again until then be happy for me Mum.
