This is another poem which I wrote coming up to Christmas. I felt the loss of Corey particularly difficult at this time of year. It symbolises a time for family for me and I think the fact that a special little someone would be missing from the celebrations made Christmas very upsetting.
Emptiness
Empty arms
A broken heart
A sllent flow of tears.
As every day I look around
And realise you're not here.
Your first smile I will never see
Or hear your gentle sigh.
Or feel your fingers curl round mine
Or hear your hungry cry.
Gone are all my hopes and dreams
I'm drowning in my sorrow.
I ask the Lord to give me strength
To face each new tomorrow.
I wish that you were here with me
If only for one day
There's so much I want to tell you
So much I need to say.
To tell you how much I love you
As only a mother can
And how proud I feel to have known you
My precious little man.
No-one can take away our special bond
We had with one another
You will always be my precious baby boy
And I will always be your Mother.
In the still of the night
I'm all alone
The whole world lies there sleeping
There's a Mother who misses her brave little boy
A Mother lies here weeping.
