A Letter From A Child

 

 
Hi Mommy and Grandma
I'm up here n heaven
An Angel is here
Helping me write you this letter
 
First let me say
I am doing ok
I made lots of friends
And get to play everyday
 
I'm with lots of babies 
And children my age
We have lots of toys
And never have to put them away
 
Mommy don't cry
God took my hand
Helped me come over
Brought me to play land
 
Grandma I miss you
I wish you could see
All of the beautiful things
That surround and comfort me
 
Swings and play sets 
And so many toys
Some just for girl babies
Some just for boys
 
Mommy I miss you
I wish I were there still
I know that you miss me
And you always will
 
God said that I'll see you
Again one fine day
Until them remember 
All the good times we made
 
The Angels says it time now
For me to go play
Today is finger panting
So they put the good clouds away
 
I love you both 
I have my arms out "so high"
Blowing you kisses
I miss you ...Bye Bye

About the Author
I am a mother of 3... Minus one... Oh I hate the math part. My 20 year old Tommy, passed away in his sleep in his room on 3-30-09. Since then I have been struggling with grief...and I needed to deal with it. I grieved out loud...with words. I write poems on grief. If you liked the poem you just read, and would like to read more of my work, I have 3 books available at LULU.COM just look up my name GWENDY VANUCCI. I'm not out to make money off my sons death... I am out to help parents, grandparents, siblings, and friends...deal with the grief they feel. Grief is a normal healing process that we all go though. My journey with grief and my poems are a very raw look at all the stages we go through to hopefully feel whole again. I guess I have to keep writing, cause it's going on six years since my son passed, and it's hard to feel whole with a hole in my chest.
I'm Grieving, Now What?
