A letter I will never post

I sit here to write down my thoughts to you my child,

In my feeble attempt to include you in my mundane life.

I know you will never read the words I pen,

Yet, my love makes me sit down and do this often.

Even though we met briefly before you were taken,

I still harbor the belief that someday I will awaken;

To your memories not bringing me so much agony

Your loss has been my life’s greatest tragedy.

I wish we had had longer a spell together,

Before you were snatched away from me, forever.

But, one day we shall meet again, I am sure.

That day we will chat of what we lost & more.

I know that I pen a letter that I will never post

For where you reside is only the abode of the lost.

Dear departed boy, rest always in peaceful slumber

I will always love you my child, all my love, your mother.
