a poem about losing a parent or child and having regrets to never get the chance to say what you really wanted to say


Poem Artwork

The moment I first saw you 

My heart burst inside
Life then changed forever
Infinite loving pride
 
Held your in my strong arms
Protection started then
Gave you all the strength I had
Forever loving men
 
Watched you take your first steps
The path into a man
Held your hand when you fell
Smiled when you first ran
 
My eyes they grew some lifelines
The smile shall never fade
The love I have is sunshine
The pride I have is shade
 
You blossomed to a young man
Walked in sunshine and rain
Made your mistakes yet learned
That with happiness comes pain
 
You flew the nest so quickly
Memories hang from the wall
Time it moves so slowly
When I await the call
 
Life gets so busy
When the boy becomes a man
Time is quickly passing
You call me when you can
 
Reflections of my father
And the things I could have done
The words I never said to him
With you have just begun
 
Each time we are together
We fall into routine
My heart it never felt so proud
Love that’s so serene
 
For time is what life is made of
It can be snatched before our eyes
Regrets that are a burden
That weigh us down with sighs
 
Are we too proud to say it?
Just what we feel
Love is three immortal words
Life is too surreal
 
If the time comes that I lose you
Remember these words before I leave
Life is yours to change my boy
Your heart is on your sleeve

So beautifully rendered and easily understood how someone becomes a father and must both allow a son to grow and leave the nest as well as somehow express undying love without being too sentimental. I think you've done it here and anyone would love to have a poem written about them this way.

A heartfelt poetic gem. I cannot fathom the loss of a child ever! Thank you for sharing.
