Gone but not ForgottenA Poem by Mortimer Brewster
Even after all these years your loss still haunts me
I carry it with me all the time it is my reality You never took a single breath or made a sound When I heard I dropped to my knees and unto the earth I pound Tears cascading from my eyes as I watch your mother The anguish in her face so easy to see unfathomable pain so hard to recover I am sad I will never be able to see you grow There were so many things in life I wanted to show I would have wanted to see if you would be a scholar or athletic Sometimes I wonder if people look at me and think I'm pathetic That I'm sad that I lost children that weren't actually born But they would be the ones that have not had their hearts torn So I will keep them in my heart and fantasize how our lives would have been And pass on their love when their brothers and sisters lives begin © 2020 Mortimer Brewster |
