Thinking of Kyle

Questions fill our hearts and minds,
So unprepared for your life to end,
We seek answers to the greater plan,
Long to see your smiling face again.

We try to face the days without you,
Seek strength for each new tomorrow,
Surrounded by love, prayers and friendship,
Please God, let it ease this painful sorrow.

You are in a better place now, Kyle,
The angels carried home the very best,
Sleep peacefully, my precious child,
Free of worry or pain in eternal rest.

I know you're watching over us,
I feel your spirit here with me today,
Bringing comfort and peace to warm me,
You'll never be more than a memory away.

I'll love you until the day I die, Kyle,
You touched more lives than you ever knew,
I'll cherish each moment and each hug you gave,
My thoughts will always be with you.

Dianna:
I too lost a child. The pain never leaves, though the joy of life learns to share its existence with sorrow. I have been lucky. God has shown me, reassured me, with spiritual encounters.
Your poem was very powerful and endearing.
Never lose your faith in the hereafter.
Best wishes,
John

Dear Dianna,

I can't begin to imagine the pain a parent must feel to have to say a permanent goodbye to her child. Hopefully, God has gifted you with the priceless hope of one day seeing Kyle again. Saying farewell to my mom when she passed away several years ago was so hard; I can guess at what your heart must feel. Isn't it great that we can express those feelings of longing in the form of poetry? What a wonderful gift the Lord gave us in the ability to write like you have done. Keep up the good work.

Blessings,

MarkAikins

Thank you, Mary, losing a child is the hardest blow a parent can take but there is no choice but to move forward with the rest of the family while keeping Kyle's memory and spirit alive. Thank you for reading this, as you can tell, it is a very special writing for me.

:) Dianna

This poem was straight from the heart. It's beautiful and heart-wrenching.

My regards to you, Miss Dianna! May God bless you!
Mary:)

P. S. I love the third stanza, by the way.
