Sometimes (Poem about Child Loss)

Poem by Colleen Ranney (Previously known as Colleen C Smith)

Sometimes 

A poem by a bereaved mom

Sometimes I catch a glimpse,

In softened waves of blue

My child, my heart …when I see a smile

I can’t help but think of you

Sometimes these waves fill oceans.

And feelings string on every shore

A collections of each memory

And every way I wish for more

Sometimes I watch for answers

Because each day I call to you

I ask for faith and courage

And strength …to help me through

Sometimes I ask for bravery

Like dolphins in the deep

Because time moves oh so slowly

And some times the road is steep

Sometimes I want to scream

This was not what I had planned

Why you ever suffered

A mom can’t understand

Sometimes I hear your laughter

And remember you at play

But My Child I always miss you

Not sometimes, but everyday

Send a postcard to show you care
