Sometimes...

This poem is about the feelings of a mother who loses her child.

Sometimes I catch a glimpse, 

In softened waves of blue, 

My child, my heart. When I see a smile, 

I can't help but think of you.

Sometimes these waves fill oceans 

And feelings string on every shore,

A collection of each memory,

And every way I wish for more.

Sometimes I watch for answers 

Because each day I call you.

I ask for faith and courage,

And strength..to help me through.

Sometimes I ask for bravery 

Like dolphins in the deep, 

Because time moves oh so slowly 

And sometimes the road is steep.

Sometimes I want to scream 

This was not what I had planned.

Why have you ever suffered 

A mom can't understand.

Sometimes I hear your laughter 

And remember you at play.

But My child I always miss you,

Not sometimes, but every day.
