I am so sorry for your loss Debi. Seems so unfair to loose two loved ones in Such a short time and so young.
I'm thankful you have your faith and know where your loved one are.
Blessings and Take care

Janet, thank you so very much for such a lovely review and your very kind and caring comments. Travis was the kind of boy that even my own children didn't come close to the amount of kindness and compassion that he had for others. Even all the times spent with us, he was even so respectful to his own brother and sister, and they said he was always that way. And anyone who knew him said that they never heard him complain or have a bad word to say about anyone. I was proud of my sister in- love, who was married to my brother how she was such a credit to how he handled himself for those two years after my brother died. He is truly missable, and some days the tears still fall, but he is with Jesus, and his dad. For that I am thankful. Also, Thank you again my friend!

Debi,
Sorry for your losses.
This is a short and heartfelt question to God on why he took such a young boy. But it is good that your faith lets you know he is with his father. It must dampen the grief a little.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Thanks Joan. It's going on 10 years now and with my brother's birthday coming up, it's been a poem I've had on my list to write for a long time.
The tears still come occasionally, but I replace them with bittersweet memories of what ifs. I just wish Travis would have had more years, as he was a boy who never had a bad word about anyone.
Now that I have my sad ones out of the way I'm ready for some more happy ones. Thank you my friend for the very kind words and review.

You're welcome, Debi. Some poems need to be written so you can move on.
Looking forward to the happy ones.
Joan

Thanks for reading this and reviewing it, as it's been on my list for quite a while of poems to write, and now that I have,, I am done with the sad ones for a while. Some days are still sad, with some tears because he never had a chance to even graduate, but God has a reason for everything and we are thankful for the time we had him in our life. And I love what you said about meeting Travis. You would have loved him, this boy never had a bad thing to say about anyone, so I guess God needed another Angel. Thank you again for your lovely review and such kind words.

The author's words are heartfelt, sad, clear and creative. Thank you
for the author's notes - they made me think about "being grateful for
each day and those we love". The artwork is perfect and goes well with
these words.

You are so very sweet Harmony! Thank you for your kind review and caring comments. The love and the pain don't die, and some days, tears and sadness come out of the blue, I just try to replace them with happy memories. I still miss them both dearly, but it's going on ten years and God see's us through. This has been on my list of poems to write for some time now, and with my brother's birthday nearing I decided I had to get it scratched off my list. Neither of them would want me dwelling on what we can't change. I am thankful to write about happier things for now on. Thanks again, my friend for your kind review and very lovely words.

Both of these situations remind us that we are never promised tomorrow. We need to live today to its fullest. Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. I will pray for this family. I know they are still hurting. Good luck with the contest.

It had to be addressed to a loved one and it is. It had to follow a set syllabic form, and it does. To lose so much so soon is so very tragic. I sincerely hope life hands you a better deal from now on.

I am so sorry for your loss. It is a tragedy when people die before there time but it is doubly hard when they die young. I thought this poem was well written. Thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest. Take care.
