ALL THOSE LOST TIMES

 




I'm sorry for the times we did not get to speak
I'm sorry for the times we did not  go out to eat

I'm sorry for all the lost times you surely missed
For that time I can't make up so I send you this one kiss

You're the sun in my coffee
The apple in my eyes
The cream in my donuts
Let me tell you, my son, why


You know mom does the best she can
Always and Forever, I'm here to hold your hand

There for you, forever this way
I love you so much, I just have to say

I'll only tell you this son,  as often as I do
Just how much you truly mean to me too
The love I hold for you, my loving son
Was touched by an angel when your life begun

Please always remember, this one special thing
You're my precious, my love, my everything

I'm always here for you, always remember this and know
Just wanted to tell you, how much I love you so..



To my son Joseph

Lovely dedication Magic. We

Lovely dedication Magic. We so often make mistakes, miss out on precious moments because life gets in the way, with those we love. We so often forget to tell them how much they mean to us. My greatest heartache when I lost my son was that I felt I hadn't told him often enough how much I cared for him. Your son is lucky, he'll have this poem to hold forever. lol Judy

Thank you so much Judy

Thank you so much and yes there has been many times when Mom had to go to work but my son knows without me working all these years we would not have this home we sleep in. He is so much a part of me and I also share with you your loss of your son, so sad, someday you may share. He is with you many a moment right beside you leading the way. Back to him someday. Love You Lady Magics02 "Determination Brings Success"

Lullaby

That you shower pure love on your dear son is a matter of great satisfaction. The poem is emotion packed. The poet's heart is filled with genuine love. Mother's milk is there, kiss is there, soothing touch is there. Great

You got that right Kaily

Yes love means you never have to say your sorry but sometimes it heals alot of pains and sorrow, I love my son and he is the gift that was given to me on Christmas Eve at 5 pm 12.24.92. I know he will be grown all up some day and leave me in this big house and then I don't know what I will do here alone. Maybe I wont be afterall. Magics02 "Determination Brings Success"

I Love this piece and let me tell you, Joey is soo lucky to have a mom like you. My mom is nothing like you, and I'd be happy to have you as my mother. Joey loves you a lot, and you talk to him about lots of things and I'm sure he appreciates all you have done for him and what you will continue to do. Being a mother is hard, I know. You just want the best for your kids and when you feel like you havn't done the best you can, you really wish you could make it up to them. But Joey loves you, and I'm sure he always will no matter what, his father isn't around, but you've done an awesome job with Joey all by yourself. SO I'm just gonna tell you, don't ever leave Joey. He needs you, like I'd love to have my mother, but she doesn't care. No matter how much Joey may tell you to leave him alone for a little while, or if he curses and you don't like it, if he does something terrible, always tell him you Love him. Cause that's what he'll need the most. Support from his favorite person. And that's you. Dani (:

Thank you Hunter

I pray someday you and your mother can talk about things and know she cares. I know how hard it is to grow up as a teenager these days. I talk to alot of teens with the same issue. ALways know I care and will always be here for you Hunter gal. Thank you Love, Magics02 "Determination Brings Success"

What a beautiful pen, Mona. I lovely tribute to your son. It is well written and obviously it comes from the heart, raw emotion always shines through. It flows beautifully. Not much more I can add that others haven't already said. **Smiles and **Hugs** coming to you my friend. :-) Also, you now have a friend in Michigan and one that was born and raised in Michigan. I miss the Great Lakes, nothing in there wants to eat you when you go swimming....lol Love and Hugs, Venus xxxx

Beautiful

thats really beautiful, too often I find that people lose sight of the love and concept of family. Haha a job is a beautiful thing as well, I'm sure pocket book is shining a little brighter :). Spoken word..... thing is I get so nervous, I can get the right feeling in my head and hear it the way I would want it to sound, but when I open my mouth for the words to come out it just doesn't go as smoothly as I would like. But isn't that just the way that it goes. haha well I wish you nothing but good things. Hope all is well with you. <3Eyez
