My Shock of you being gone | The Grief Toolbox

The shock of you being gone has slowly faded

Yet the world it carries on.

But the truth my Son that others cant see,

Is the pain and sorrow that lives in me.

You had a presence that lived in you,

Your smile, your heart, the things you'd do.

The fact your gone, I cant seem to except.

My worlds now broken I struggle with it.

I know you see this pain in me,

I pray this hasn't stopped your wings from being set free.

I know my years must carry on,

Still without you I struggle to stay strong.

The best part of me has now left,

Since the day I laid you to rest.

I feel you up there trying to guide me threw

this pain and sorrow since I lost you.

I pray one day I'll see you again.

But until then

This pain in me shall never end

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.
