The Pain Never Leaves You

Lucas Dié on Jan 20, 2011

Dedicated to the Tyson family in Toowoomba, Australia, but especially to John.

When you wake up in the morning
It sits there
Coffee cup in hand
Waiting for you to come round

Taking your hand
Like an old friend
It will stay for the day
Bearing you company

And at night
It will put you to bed
Sitting beside you
Until you nod off

It will come into your dreams
Growing wings to carry you up
To the realms where angels dwell

It will carry you safely
Bringing you back towards morning
And making you forget what you saw

And when you wake up in the morning
It sits there

In memory of my son Thomas.

Bless you, I can’t even begin to imagine pain like that and there isn’t a thing anyone can say to take it away. Just remember that one day you’ll see him again.

I am deeply sorry to hear of your loss.
This kind of pain can only be truly understood by those who have experienced it.

You are so right. You have to live with the pain, but it is always there.

I’m so sorry to heard that. No parent should witness their child’s departure. True love trancends beyond this worldy life. That what you are experiencing Lucas. Poignant piece.

My nephew aged 34 recently died. His older brother passed at age 17. His mother at 41. His father at around five-six years of age. I knew and loved them all, but they are in the good hands of a loving God now. The sands of time are upon us all. Thanks for sharing.

Hi there!
