My Son E-mail
Written by Floria Kelderhouse   

Twas fourty short years ago,
When, I first heard his cry.
This tiny boy with golden hair,
And large brown twinkling eyes.

Just fourty short years ago,
'Twas a pleasure to hear his cry.
And the child grew to become such a man.
Only to die!
Only to die!

The grave now covered with leaves.
And flowers strewn about.
The headstone black that holds his name.
Forever I shall feel without.

He was the most wonderful son.
And so filled my heart with joy.
Oh how I miss, the man, my son.
The child, my baby boy.

Inspiration: My son George Feb 24, 1960—Dec.5,2000

Yes, it is a beautiful poem. I lost my son September 09, 2007 in a motorcycle accident. He was just 38. I lost my son, my baby, forever. The poem is speaking to parents who lost their children due to untimely death. Parents should never have to bury their children. It seems so unfair. I will miss my baby for the rest of my life.

I lost two nephews this year. I lost one on April 3, 2007 also in a motorcycle accident and he was only 23. I lost my other nephew on September 23, 2007 in a drive by shooting, he was only 18 years old. Death is something that is hard to understand especially when the ones you have lost are so young. Parents should never have to bury their babies, never. In the cycle of life we are suppose to go before our babies not our babies before us.
My family has found comfort in poems such as this one. We thank you all for reaching out and touching others by sharing these beautiful poems with us.

I lost my son Sept 29 1007. He was 17. A 21 yo gave him methadone to try and he never woke up. My 20 yo son found him. I will never forget that Saturday morning and the terrible pain I felt. I wanted the whole world to feel my pain. I never want to experience that again. I miss him so much. I never got to tell him bye.

I also lost my son on Feb 18th 2007, He was 23 and a father to his 2year old daughter. He went to take a nap before going into work,,my husband found him,I was working as a nurse and the police came and told me at work.. We still have no reaasons to the "why?".
God, just called him home.. no sickness, no accident, I felt so useless,,, I was supose to save him.... How do we all get through it? I said a prayer for each of you... God bless us all and to those who are searching for the peace to go on... Thank you for the beautiful poem...

The poem is nice and makes me sad to think that a year ago, my son was stolen from me by peole that are disgusting and pathetic and each and every day that goes by is another day I will never have his smile warm my heart.

LIfe changes in a second and hopefully you all can cherish those seconds because my life is over and will never b the same

My beautiful son Gavin died as a result of a motorbike accident 11 Feb 2002, so close to home. Life has not been the same since. We miss his smile, his easy go lucky ways and his hugs, oh How we miss his hugs. Not one day goes by that we don't think of him and our hearts ache for him.

In January 10, 2007 I lost Larry Garcia my baby, a 23 years old boy, a wonderful son, brother and uncle, he was my soul mate, he was my companion, the person to talk to, becouse he understood me deeply. I am deadly wounded, I had overcome depression as a miracle from God. I am living, working, taking care of my family and improven my relationship with God, but I always be imcomplete, in my house theres is an empy room,but he lives in my mind till we meet again in eternity.

Beautiful poem. On March 18, 1983 my life was changed forever. I lost my only child and husband to a drunk driver. It has been 25 years and the pain has not gone away and never will. There is nothing worse than loosing a child. I hope I never have to feel that pain again. May God bless each and everyone of you and help us all to find peace with our loss.
