    Only Child

    I cant count the years,
    its been since you've smiled,
    it must have been so sad,
    when you lost your only child.
    I don't think i could imagine,
    the pain you must feel,
    i don't see in the future,
    time helping you heal.
    You wake up in the morning,
    with a tear on your face,
    because you dreamt he was with you,
    for your arms to embrace.
    No matter how bad,
    you wanted to follow,
    you decided to go on,
    and live with the sorrow.
    I know i wouldn't have had,
    the strength to go on,
    the moment i found out,
    my only child was gone.
    A single parent,
    doing the best that you can,
    doing everything in your power,
    to raise a proper man.
    My open mind can see,
    that your empty inside,
    your loneliness had began,
    the day that he died.
    I don't know how you do it,
    not to show how your feeling,
    and you wont let anyone,
    help with the healing.
    Ever since this has happened,
    you have never smiled,
    your forever gonna have a broken heart,
    from the death of your only child.

    You are a master of rhyme and rhythm. You choose a topic, follow it through til it's conclusion and the read is a rollercoaster ride of feelings and emotions. No doubt in my mind this is a ten.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
