Too Soon To Weep
By: Joi Maree Flowers
She didn't get to see him graduate high school
Didn't get to see him grow to become a man
As she transitioned from physical
To spiritual
Before he received his Rights of Passage
Her son
Left in the world without her presence
With no hand to hold
No arms to run into
No kiss to be placed on his forehead
To comfort him
To assure him
That
All was well
And will be
As only a Mother's love
Her love
Could heal the pain he's been inflicted with
A pain that won't ever be healed
Only eased with the remembrance of happy moments made yesterday
That'll find its way every now and then to memory's slide show
But how can she comfort him now when
The pain is due to her early demise
A pain of knowing that the last time was indeed the last
And
When he goes to call her name
And realizes that she again will never answer
To his voice
His weakened heart will ache
And the pain will again become stronger
The pain of having to live without her
Becoming unbearable to bear
The will to move forward a struggle
Because the reason to is hard to find through the cloudy vision of his watery eyes
Asking God why
Why her
Why so soon
Without a proper goodbye to be said
Without a chance to see her smile again
Without a chance for her to say I love you
Again
Unable to catch all the tears that fall
Unable to find a smile in the pain
Unable to understand why
So soon her presence from his life was taken away
As always...GREAT!!!
