God had you in His plans that
day
You were lifted from my arms.
But still, as days go passing
by,
My eyes keep searching, everywhere.
My heart is still as broken
As it was that other day, and,
Though the years have passd
and gone
I'll love you, each and every
day.
And if the Lord gave me one wish
I wouldn't think, not for a
second.
I'd ask to see your face, my
son,
For just a single, fleeting
minute.
You're locked up deep within
my soul,
And etched into my heart.
And when the time is right,
my son,
I'll once more fold you into
my arms..........
Someday..........
Linda Drewes lost a son in a
drowing accident on April 1, 1968. She discovered Journey of Hearts
thru a newspaper article in our hometown paper [which we are still trying
to discover]. She writes, "No matter how many years go by, the loss of
a child always stays fresh within your heart, and I thank you for this
site."
She describes herself as "a
soon to be (January) 60-year-old mother of four living children of my own,
and step-mom to three others! We have 19 grandchildren, all of whom are
dearly loved." She writes "you never forget what once was...............especially
at this time of the year. The questions are always in your mind.......what
would they be like now? How many kids would they have? What goals would
he have attained in their lifetime?"
This poem was a way to put feelings
on a page so that I would have them to look at in the years to come, and
so that others could share my feelings...... in dealing with the first
Christmas without my beloved son.
She sent the poem with the message:
