Created in loving memory of Thomas a very Brave Young Boy

For a Very Dear friend ..and you are Dear to me Julie <3.

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 collections of each memory
And every way I wish for more

Sometimes I watch for answers
Because each day I call to 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 some times the road is steep

Sometimes I want to scream
This was not what I had planned
Why you ever suffered
A mom can’t understand

Sometimes I hear your laughter
And remember you at play
But Thomas I always miss you
Not sometimes, but everyday

    Colleen…you have tugged at my heartstrings so much with this one that it has triggered a flow of tears…thank you for such a beautiful, heartfelt written tribute to brave young Thomas and his dear courageous and equally brave Mother – Julie…all of you are in warm thoughts and prayers. How could I not have voted that I like it? Take care

    Thank you so much for taking the time to read and feel this poem. It was given to all moms who grieve by something far greater than me. I only share what is given to me from within *Keep Shining*

    A sad sad thing to go through. I dearly hope it wasn’t biographical.
