Medium Poems

Poem #1: "Gone Too Soon"
My heart breaks with each passing day,
As I long to hold my son and hear him say,
His laughter and smile, so precious and bright,
Gone in an instant, taken from sight.

The world seems empty, dark and gray,
Without my son here, to brighten my way,
I pray for strength, to carry on and cope,
But the pain of his loss, is too much to hope.

I hold him close, in memories and dreams,
And in my heart, he forever gleams,
My son, my angel, always on my mind,
Never to be forgotten, always to shine.

Poem #2: "Rest In Peace, My Dear Son"
You left us too soon, my beloved son,
And my heart aches for the life we had begun,
Your laughter and joy, will always be missed,
My heart and soul, forever kissed.

I hold you close, in the memories we share,
And in my heart, you'll always be there,
Though we must say goodbye, for now,
I'll meet you again, somehow.

Rest in peace, my dear son, in your eternal sleep,
And know that your love, is one I'll forever keep,
Till we meet again, on that distant shore,
My heart will ache, but my love will soar.

Poem #3: "The Angels Have You Now"
My dear son, you've flown away,
To the heavens, where the angels play,
Your time here was brief, but full of light,
And now, you're free, to take flight.

The memories we shared, are precious and dear,
And I'll hold them close, forever near,
Though your presence is gone, your spirit remains,
Guiding us through life's joys and pains.

The angels have you now, my sweet child,
And in their care, you'll forever be styled,
A beacon of love, a guiding light,
Shining on, through the endless night.
