Jacob

I don't know you
But you're my brother

The one of two
That's six feet under

I wish we could have met
You'd be awesome I bet

A great guy
Why'd you have to die

Today, it's been 22 years
It's still bringing mom to tears

She can't move on
Her dear child gone

When we visit your tombstone
I leave y'all alone

Just mother and son
Who's life had just begun

You're in a better place
Held in God's grace



                      Jacob L. Earls
                             RIP

Awe, this was really depressing. It's really hard for a mother to lose a child. Sometimes it's SIDS. It's uncontrollable. I feel bad for her. I know how hard it would be for me if I lost a child. I can't begin to imagine your mothers pain. I know you are wondering what he would have been like. I am sorry that your mother had to experience it. Thanks for sharing this painful story.
