I wrote a poem in response to a request from a mother who lost her child. Since then I have decided to share it with any parent out there who has lost a child. May this bring comfort to you

Sometimes

© Colleen Ranney ( http://www.colleenranney.com/ )

Sometimes I catch a glimpse,
In softened waves of blue
My child, my heart …when I see a smile
I can't help but think of you

Sometimes these waves fill oceans.
And feelings string on every shore
A collections of each memory
And every way I wish for more

Sometimes I watch for answers
Because each day I call to you
I ask for faith and courage
And strength …to help me through

Sometimes I ask for bravery
Like dolphins in the deep
Because time moves oh so slowly
And some times the road is steep

Sometimes I want to scream
This was not what I had planned
Why you ever suffered
A mom can't understand

Sometimes I hear your laughter
And remember you at play
But My Child I always miss you
Not sometimes, but everyday

It's been 4 days since my eldest sister was located. After 43 years of separation by adoption, we can be a complete family.

8/15/2014	Death » Death Daughter Poems » Poem About Still Loving Child Years After Death, My Precious Daughter Lindsey By Terry Gouveia
On January 5, 1983 I gave birth to Lindsey. When she was a year old, her brother came into the world. Being only a year apart, they became really close to one another. In November 1985, Lindsey became ill from a virus doctors could not identify. Doctors struggled to save her life, but on December 22, 1985 at 11:45 pm, exactly two weeks shy of her 3rd birthday, Lindsey passed away. A life time has passed since that day, but I still love her and miss her as if it were yesterday.
