TO MY SON
Sometimes in the early mornings
When no one else is around
I feel your presence
And the love we refound.
Sometimes in the early mornings
When no one else is around
I see your face in my mind
And know your are still around.
Sometimes in the early mornings
When no one else is around
I cry for what was to be
And for what was lost on this earthly ground.
Sometimes in the early mornings
When no one else is around
I know I want to be with you
But my feet are here on this earth
Until my time is found.
Sometimes in the early mornings
When there is no one else around
I wonder why God chose to this long road for me
Knowing how much you mean to me
And I know a lost son can never be found.

 Places
My faith was renewed
When God answered my prayer
He brought you back home
To love each other and share.
It lasted only a few months
We became closer than ever
The unconditional love was there
To share and try to understand each others lives
Why did God allow you to leave
This time forever?
How can I accept your physical presence gone
When I cannot accept your death?
The strength you said I had and needed is gone as I struggle to take my next breath.
Life has given me many hurdles to climb
With you gone from this world, it leaves me with very little reason to go on
Why?  Is the only question I have I have now.
Will I recover from this loss? 
Greatest tragedy a mother could face?
I think not now, not this year
No one can or will ever take your place.
