After all the torrential rain of late
I wondered where it all came from
Then my thoughts wondered to my
lost son and came to this conclusion.
TEARS OF AN ANGEL:
All the recent rain we've had,
As to why I have my own thoughts.
I think of my lost son in Spain,
So many tears from me it brought.
I can 't seem to cry anymore tears,
But I think they come from the angels above.
Telling me that "John's at Peace.
And that he sends his love.
Please don't think me foolish,
These past five months have been hell.
I have to have some consolation.
To you my friends I tell.
So every time I see the rain.
Which is often , believe me.
I think of the sunny climate in Spain.
And a son I'll never see.

To think that one remembers, Yvonne, it is already fulfilled spiritually.

Such a lovely poem, Yvonne. I don't think you are foolish at all. I think those of us who have lost a loved one have something that brings us comfort when thinking about them. I know for me it is hawks. When I see a hawk, I know God is watching over me and he is comforting me because I saw a hawk shortly after my mom passed and now it seems I see them when I need that extra comfort with something going on in my life. We live in an area now where they aren't abundant in the big city but God still has his way of showing them to me :)

Thank you Betty for your most moving comment. When I lost my mum back in 1998 I lost my husband two months later but it was then I found I could write my thoughts into poetry.I seemed to be caught upin that and have been writing ever since.
DeleteOnce again thank you.
Yvonne.
Such beautiful thoughts, Yvonne. Yes, your son is at peace. But the memories are there. And the angels watch over you. God Bless You.
ReplyDeleteThank you Beverly for your kind words. Much appreciated.

The burden of loss never goes away. It's heavy. Tears will soothe the heart, making it a little lighter, until they collect again to pour out at the next reminder. Your poem is so beautiful, mixed with love and pain. One day the same love that causes the pain will lessen the tears and cover the wound of loss with memories. This does not mean we ever forget.

I don't think you are foolish at all, Yvonne. You have written a heartfelt poem filled with love and grief and hope. John is at peace, and angels speak in many ways.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Fundy Blue, I wrote this as I felt at the time. I'm still bewildered that John was ill and is no longer here.
