For My Lost Son

~ Tara Luning ~

I can see you growing up, in my mind's eye.
It made me understand.
I loss so much when you died.
I didn't just lose my son but a lifetime to share.

I lost all your firsts.
First Step,
First Word,
And all.

I don't get to share all I know with you,
Nor do I get to learn from you.
I won't get to share your birthdays.

There will be no Prom,
Graduation,
Or wedding for you.

No hugs or kisses.
No little crafts.
I not only lost our son but we lost your lifetime as well.
