IT WON’T BE LONG AT ALL

IT WON’T BE LONG AT ALL

When will my heart stop beating so this ache will go away?

When will the pain leave me to live another day?

When will my heart find peace in the absence of my son?

When will this despair leave my heart alone?

When will my tears stop bleeding in crimson tones?

When will the hole in my heart be filled with hope again?

When will I stop regretting all the years that you were gone, the times we missed, the miles you walked alone, the tears that fell in isolation, when you were so far away from home?

When will I stop thinking of the thousand miles of storms that you wandered in the cold?

When will I stop hearing your last words, “Help me mom, I need you; I’m about to fall?”

When will I stop thinking that something went very wrong?

When will I forget that cold night that you stopped singing your last song?

When will I stop seeing your shadow on every wall?

When will I stop hearing your
Whisper… “I love you mom, be strong, we’ll be together soon; it won’t be long at all.”

My dearest son, Levi, had reluctantly left this earth on January 29, 2022.
His last echo is infinite but
“it won’t be long at all.”

I AM SO SORRY

Alaska, death, FAMILY, INTERESTS

Levi, I’m so sorry that you couldn’t be here on your birthday.

I’m so sorry that I couldn’t tell you how precious your spirit was before you left this earth.

I’m so sorry that I let you down.

I’m sorry that I didn’t ask you to come home.

I’m so sorry that I didn’t pray on the night you went away.

I’m so sorry that I couldn’t be there to hold you when you were all alone…

I’m sorry that you had to leave this world alone…

I’m sorry that I couldn’t tell you how much I loved you.

I’m so sorry that I couldn’t tell you how important you were to me. Before you fell that night.

I’m so sorry that you couldn’t be here on your birthday so, I could hug you with all my might.

I am so sorry that I cannot see your smile one last time…

I’m so sorry that you left before I could say goodbye.

I’m so sorry…

Love always, and forever…
Regretfully,
Mom.🩵💙🩵

MY HOW TIME SLIPS AWAY

FAMILY, LOVE POEMS

You have been gone so long.
We wished you weren’t so far away.
We pray for you every night.
Zoey prayed for you to come home today.

Well, I thought you might want to know that zoey graduated from kindergarten today.
His smile, how it lit up the room.
He so reminded me of you.
All the other moms were there.
His teacher said, “Sometimes he’s happy, but most of the time, he misses you.”

Oh, how we wish that you were there.
All the kids sang a song.
To thank the moms that came along.
But Zoey didn’t participate.
He just sat alone.
And wrote you a little poem.

The teacher said he could read his now.
But Zoey said he’s saving it for a special day.
When his mom comes home.

With every day that’s gone by, another memory slips away.
All the springs, summers, and falls and lonesome winters without you here.
My, how time slips away.

Zoey said to send his love.
His eyes filled up with tears as he looked at your picture on the wall.

I guess that’s how life becomes when moms are sad; the pain takes away all they have.
And son’s dream their dreams at night.
And tears fall all winter.
And summer comes
Eventually.

And time just slips away…

~Forever Young~

FAMILY, PHOTOGRAPHY, Stories

This set of photographs was shot on Mother’s Day this year in Portland Oregon. My daughter, her pug and I were playing carelessly in the park, as I gazed over at the swing set and for just a moment, I could see my daughter swinging twenty-five years earlier. The reminiscent thought was and always will be cherished.
That’s why I named this set of photographs, “Forever Young.”
