From Your Room

My late son Ben Z'L suffered from both juvenile diabetes and epilepsy.

From your room Ben
 
on this sixth year’s eve,
 
these words I write
 
alone I grieve.
 
From your room Ben
 
herein lived our woes;
 
in wee morning darkness
 
we wrestled our foes.
 
Where by your bedside
 
I sat many the night,
 
afraid to leave you ...
 
lest return it might.
 
So Ben ...
 
please remember,
 
neither in doubt nor need,
 
our love for you
 
was always agreed.
 
Accept these few words,
 
your blue eyes to see ...
 
o’er these six years
 
mournful ...
 
without
 
thee.

So sad, yet so beautiful. My heart aches for you and your son. I hope a cure for diabetes will come soon so you won't have to worry so much. ~ Sara
