A quiet pain

Posted on November 8, 2015 by MeRaw

Sunday 8th November

“And in my heart
there stirs
a quiet pain.”

The mask I wear so you can’t see
The pain inside that’s hurting me.
I laugh, I smile, I seem carefree.
Now a grieving mother I’ll always be.

I can’t move on, leave you behind.
You’re always there, occupying my mind.
Together with love it will always bind,
Our family is inextricably entwined.

And so I’ll keep those memories together,
Day by day, as we travel to wherever.
Losing you has changed me forever.
My life, like this, no never, ever.

Blowing kisses to you in heaven.
My sweet, precious Angel.
Love you to the moon and back.
Dearest, darling son.
xxxxx

The poem is beautiful but these three lines written by you encapsulates it all. “And in my heart
there stirs
a quiet pain.”

  Thank you, but I’m afraid I can’t lay claim to those quoted words.
  Those lines come from a poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay.
  But they inspired me to write what I did today.
