My Son

by Suzanne Kleczar
(Kioloa NSW Australia)

My son and me

My son and me

I write poems since the loss of my son, it helps me express my pain, but I don't think it helps me move forward. Anyway here is my latest poem.

Time is moving forward
But the pain remains the same
Eight months have passed now
And nothing seems to change.

You were taken so suddenly
I could never be prepared
For the pain that I would feel
For the deep and dark despair.

A dark cloud descended
Over my world that day
For the loss of my child
There are no words I can say.

I long to see your face
To see you walk into the room
I long to hear your voice
Saying Mum I love you too

I know this will never be
I know this for a fact
But that doesn’t stop the longing
The longing to have you back

I can’t deal with the pain inside
I feel emotionally shutdown
From the pain that I try to hide.
The pain that’s so deep down.

I have asked myself many times
Will it always hurt this way?
Will the pain ever subside?
Will it ever go away?

They say time heals all wounds
I really don’t think that is true
I just have to learn to live
With the pain of losing you.

So on this sad day my son
I want to say to you
How very much I love you
And miss you so much too

the poem about our sons
by: Dee

I lost a big part of my life Sept 09' when my Jamie went to be with Jesus suddenly that nite, after taking too much medicine with codeine. Your poem said all my feelings too. He got to be ordained as a minister in July 09', preached churches, made a tape ministry, and touched so many lives in his short time. He was 38. I plan to write a book on his life, when I can get where I can concentrate, and not cry all the time. God bless all the moms who are in this group..

Dear suzanne
I lost my son too on july 18,2009 he was 16. A man took his precious life. It's a pain no one can understand unless they go through the same.
It's a pain that I don't think it will ever go away. Yes they say time will heal, but the pain is deeper and deeper everyday.
God bless you.
words so true

I lost my son to a drunk driver 12/2008 and the words to your poem are so perfect! You will be in my prayers and thoughts and i hope u don't mind me bookmarking this page to return when needed.
your son is just like mine, your pain is just like mine
by: swaraj yadav

HI, YOUR FEELINGS, YOUR PAIN HAVE NO LIMITS, I HAVE ALSO LOST MY SON ON 08.08.08. WHO WAS HIMSELF AN ARMY DOCTOR AND RANKED CAPTAIN. I WAS OVERCONFIDENT THAT NOTHING CAN BE HAPPEN WITH HIM IN HEALTH ISSUES. BUT SUDDENLY I GOT A MESSAGE FROM HIS COMMANDING OFFICER THAT HE HANGED HIMSELF. THOUGH HE WAS HAPPY AND TALKING WITH US REGULARLY EVEN BEFORE THAT FATAL DAY, HE TALKED TO HIS SISTER AND MADE PLANS TO COME ON LEAVE TO ASSIST HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW IN AN OPERATION.

BUT THIS MESSAGE SHATTERED EVERY THING . TILL DATE I AM SEARCHING THE CAUSE OF HIS DEATH. AND UNABLE TO TOLERATE THIS LOSS OF MY ONLY SON WHO WAS ONLY OF 26 YRS.I CAN SAY ONLY THESE LINES....

No one waits for you and no one keeps a look out for you
Your pain affects no one and no one cries for you
Why do you think some one else is your own?

The sages say that the world is water
And this life - is like writing in water (momentary)
Every one sees it and every one knows it
But it is not in any one's grasp
There is nothing that is yours or mine
im sorry
by: Wendy

I lost my son Judson on September 4th 2009, he was 17, and he had an arrhythmia that never would have been detected......it took us all by storm and so suddenly, it's so sad, we never got to say goodbye and every day i long for his smile and his laugh..just to see his face....he never gets to attend a prom, graduate, join the marines as he was ready to do, and he never gets to marry and have children.....the loss of a child is the most difficult thing ANY Parent EVER will have to endure and I am sooooooooooo very sorry for your loss....my prayers and thoughts go out to you!
Leedon our Angel in Heaven
by: Lesley Couzens

HI,
I lost my son, Leedon, on 17 August 2008 to a motorcyle accident. He was hit by a drunk pedestrian. I have tried to move forward, but it is the most difficult thing to live with. The pain is like a knife that is constantly piercing your heart, only when you have lost a child can you know how it feels. It has been 19 months and still I wake up thinking it is a nightmare, but it isn't! I want him back so I can hold him, touch his face, see him smile, hear his voice, listen to him sing and kiss him happy birthday again. I have also written +-20 poems in his memory and I find that when I am sad it helps me get all the anger and frustration out of my system. You're now an Angel Mom.

That's such a personal poem, thank you for sharing that with us. I do hope things will start to feel better soon. Grief is difficult and at times brutal. But just try and remember it is only painful because we were able to love and be loved in return.
Your son . My son.
by: Vicki

This is beautiful, I lost my son, he was 39 only six weeks ago, he was severely disabled and we had the most wonderful relationship any mum can have with a child. Your poem put my feelings into words so beautifully, thank you, and God bless all the Mums who are suffering as we are.
My Son
by: Anonymous

My son was born August 10, 1963, his life was taken June 1, 2009.

I also fell into a deep, dark place which enveloped me so that I could not see anything but the picture of him when he was a small child. I still hurt so badly at times until I think I cannot get past this pain. I know he is finally at peace, a peace he could not find in this life. It is little consolation to a heart that is in so much pain.
my son
by: Beckie

It has been 1 year since I lost my precious son to a motorcycle accident. My life will never be the same again. He was my life and now I go through each day lost and empty.
My son James
by: Nicholas

I lost my son in a car accident, it is so painful I cry sometimes after eight years; he must be special in God's eyes, of this I am sure. I hope that one day I get a glimpse of him on the way to my final destination. His mother joined him just a few years later, never recovering from his loss. Now there are two in the midst of Christ. Blessed be our Father in Heaven.
The pain
by: Anonymous

Thank you so much for sharing your heart and your words.

It has been 10 years since my own son died...and you're right...the pain doesn't ever go away! it changes as we do, it becomes easier to move forward...but never will the hole in my heart be closed. I will always and forever long for him, as I am sure you do!

Bless you,
Thank you
by: Lorraine

Thank you for the poem, it said exactly what I wanted to say!

I too lost my son, he was only 3 days old, and even though it was nearly 30 years ago the pain is still inside.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your grief.

Your poem has touched my heart. I can't imagine the pain you must feel day in and day out...

My Son
by: Gert.

Dear Suzanne, I know the pain you are going through, you see I lost my youngest son Mikey as a result of homicide on January 16, 2008. He still walks in my soul; we shared a bond that not even death could break.

He worshipped the ground his mama walked on, it's still so much like a bad dream. I keep hoping he'll find me and say "I love you mom" and hug me like he used to. Then I have to face reality and remember he is gone from this life.

He loved his family so much, it's hard to put into words the heartache and pain one goes through in this time of loss. As mothers, we're not supposed to bury our children. Someday I'll learn the reason why, the same God who helped me through this will tell me, then I'll understand.

I too wrote a poem for my son. It's called "Missing A Son at Christmas", it's actually a letter to Santa telling him about my son. God bless and keep you in His loving care.
