How long 
can a broken heart beat?
Nights of tears
Days of dark
Endless 
pain.
My son is gone.

I am left a world
of questions.
Fears for future
generations 
in my arms.
What if?
Could I have?
Did I?

Empty arms, my love
aches for you.
What if?
Will never know.
Could I have?
I know not.
Did I?
ABSOLUTELY!

I loved you with a mother's love
so strong it goes beyond heaven,
so deep it lights your way
back to me.
Wait for me.
A day will come for us to talk.
To share smiles and laughter 
in the stars
on the water
in the air...

Freedom for you 
from all you held buried.
Freedom for me 
to hold my son
again...

I miss you.
