To my son that will never be

To my son that will never be.

I'm sorry i was blind and couldn't see.

I was lost and redemption came at too great a cost.

My attempts at finding you

only left my emotions black and blue.

And with my thoughts being scattered,

and my dreams being shattered.

I gave up hope. It was my only means to cope.

But your images are still clear.

As if your saying,"I'm still here."

Still, I don't believe that our paths will unite.

But if i'm blessed enough to have your presence and sight,

I promise i will do every thing right.

I really appreciate your intensity with words, your powerful way of getting right to the point. Your emotions are expressed in a very succint, almost vulnerable way, but with enough of an edge that it leaves the impression of a pretective wall that only the chosen few can enter in behind...I'm glad you chose to share this poem here...I hope the Lord allows you the healing joy of finding & knowing your son, in His perfect time. I hope you don't give up hope forever!"Faith is the substance of things hoped for..."(that's from the Bible.) I'll be praying for you both.
I look forward to reading more of your work! Keep it coming!
