My Amazing Gift

One day God blessed me with the most amazing gift
It was 1995 on Sept. 5th
A Big healthy bundle of joy, my Only Son, my baby boy
As years they passed I loved each one, Each day I had with you my son
You grew into a handsome young man
Your loving gaze, warm embrace. You always wore a smiling face
Tall and strong you grew into, the greatest man I ever knew.
Never the day did I think would come, that I would lose you my son.
But, that day it did come
A truck hit and killed my son.
I ask God how he allowed just this
What did I do to make him reclaim his gift.
I often ask God when I pray
Why dear God take my Son away?
Why dear God couldn't you let him stay?
Tell me God how I offended thee?
But, God has yet to answer me
Or heal this pain that I cant set free.
But I can't hate God for all of this
For it was he who blessed me with that amazing gift
in 1995 on September 5th.
So my DD
I wrote you this,
as your 21st birthday gift
I hope you know how much your loved and missed.

About the Author

I lost my very Young, and Only Son Devon Dulaney on June 19,2015. Devon was only 19 years old when a truck crossed over in his lane of traffic while my son was on his motorcycle. My son was killed instantly. Devon had such an impact on his community, friends, and Family. His loss has been overwhelming to so many people. I am a trauma Nurse and seeing my sons body lying in the middle of the road covered in a sheet shattered my world. I often wrote poems as a teenager but hadent done so in years until my sons death when I found that written poems to and about my son helps my healing process. I have many poems regarding his death, my Grief, and our sadness. I have showed a few to family and friends which they all love and often ask if they can share them with others. I enjoy reading all these poems and my two daughters love it when I share with them ones that remind us all of my son.

I'm Grieving, Now What?
