On My 2 Year Old, Leaving

On My 2 Year Old, Leaving

A Poem by David Lewis Paget

Remember this, my son;

That when you left
I had no hand in parting
You from me,
I had no wish to cause
More misery,
When you, in sleep’s warm arms
Were wrenched from me.
 
Words are meaningless,
They die still-born,
Cold on the air, they shatter
At the touch
When hearts refuse to listen
Over-much,
To what is said, or meant
Or left to trust.
 
And though you’re gone, remember
What I’ve said,
That you’re your father’s son,
And always will -
I stand by all my children
Every one,
And you may see me nights,
Stand by you still.
 
David Lewis Paget

Hi David,

Yes. I am with you and feel this pain with you. I am sorry for this loss. I hope things are better now--I hope.
