Surrounded in Darkness

Could the earth survive without the sun.......
No, it would certainly die a long slow death.
Can a mother continue to survive without her dear son......
Barely, life will now only be torture...until her very last breath.
For her son had been.... to her, just as the Earth's sun.
He was her ray of sunshine.....forever shining bright.
He had given everything he had touched....... love and life!

Without the sun.... there would still be moonlight!
My daughter is like the moonlight.....she is my only glimmer of Light.
She.....just like the moon, is the only thing that can guide me......
for without her..... it is, as if...... I am living in complete darkness.

Oh, how I miss the sun shining.....
Oh, how I want to feel my dear son's presence.
Oh, how desperately I need the moonlight.......
Oh, how I long to see her each and every single night!

About the Author
My dear son Nick(who was only 17) was tragically killed by a train in 2011. My husband had passed the following year, his Cancer had returned. In 2013 I had lost the rental home we had lived in. (15 years.) The home that my husband and I had treated as our own. The home that I remember my husband and I had replaced the roof on. The home that holds all the precious memories that are with me always. My heart has become so broken, it's beyond repair. I miss everything that use to be, I just need to find away back home. Since that home has recently been sold, that hope no longer feels possible for me. Going through this process is what had inspired my poem. My dear son Nick had a great soul. To know Nick ... is to love Nick. He was the Heart and Soul of our Family, my heart is Forever broken, my world is completely crushed. I miss him so very much. (I'm barely existing...just Drifting.)
