Come April

Dear Bobby

 

My darling son

 

I can hardly believe

 

It will be two years

 

Since you've been gone

 

Come April

 

I am still feeling numb

 

To the pain

 

Of losing you

 

Come April

 

You know honey

 

Just the other night

 

A few tears finally fell

 

Ran down my cheek

 

They were warm and wet

 

Filled with regret

 

As I tried so hard to forget

 

The loneliness

 

The sadness

 

The sorrow

 

Remembering your funeral

 

Seeing you laying there

 

So still and lifeless

 

Touching you

 

Feeling the coldness

 

Of death

 

On my lips

 

As I kissed your forehead

 

I love you

 

I miss you

 

I need you

 

As April needs rain

A beautiful moving tribute to your son and to your depth of love as a mother. Touched my heart so much...

This is a well-written expression of grief and loss, which is a particularly difficult subject to do well. Thanks for sharing this very personal poem.

[Tina Kline]

Very very said. It is a very nicely written poem about the love and
loss you feel for your son. It made me want to cry.
