wings to carry him

wings to carry him

A Poem by Shifra

you came to me one day as the leaves began to turn
I found you inside of me
all that I was searching for
never having know that its what I needed
someone to love unconditionally

I prayed
I begged for your protection
I nurtured
I sang
I read to you of all the beauty this life could offer you
and above all i loved
so deeply for you

I could feel every part of you
and prayed that every part of me that was in you was only the best of me
i prayed for you to be my better
to always do what was right
to be just
 kind
soulful
humble
i could feel every part of you
body
mind
soul
and heart

I could see you in everything
 Light
 Innocence
 Beauty
 Love
 Life

except in my arms


You left this world
loved madly loved
by me
your Mother
my only Son

We fought so pure
proud of your strength
I could feel your soul every day
so strong
in everything
every day
in everything

I don't want to let you go
this i know is natural
or so Im told

It hurts to picture a life without the kind of love i can give to you that i gave to you
But my pain will not release you from a world that you no longer belong to
this I know
or so I'm told
my pain will not release you
this i know

So I cannot keep you
I take a piece of my heart for you
I  shall let you go wholehearted
I  called on an angel dear to me
   and though she carries you away fro me
   she will carry you with love in her arms
I hope and pray that you will return one day
I wish you your own wings so that one day

you will put the piece back in my heart that I shall miss always
the piece that belongs to you
my son.
