They came to tell me my son had died
The man's eyes met mine and then moved aside
The young woman's frown showed she pitied me
My tears flowed fast, I could hardly see
When I heard what they said, through a veil of tears
When I finally heard what I'd been dreading for years
I knew then and there that my life was no more
Death had taken my heart and removed the core
Now 18 months on, this grief road is rough
I am lonely and lost, I have had more than enough
Each day is a torment, my life constant pain
The knowledge unending - I won't see him again
My beautiful baby, my funny young boy,
My lovely young man, my pride and joy
My wonderful artist, so perceptive, so smart
From the day he was born he captured my heart
Now Mother's Day looms, and I am alone
I try to smile on the outside, but inside I moan
with the depth of my sorrow, too terribly deep
All that is left of this woman is sorrow........ I weep.
