Dear Ricky, The pain of losing your son is like what you feel for the Destruction of Man, and I liked your astronomical references to Heaven and Moon. Sometimes I can hardly bear to finish reading your poems, they are so painful, they are full of reality, and they hit on the truth. Donna

Prophetic words, my friend, as I agree the end times have begun. We've not yet hit the tribulation (which boggles the mind when you ponder just how much worse can t get) since the trumpet judgments are yet to be delivered - but I do feel it is quite near. Well done and thank you very much for sharing it.

people can spell words different like dying to be spelled two different ways along with lying but lying means lying down or lying telling a lie. I ain't no I always figured die ing not dying but maybe it can be done both ways.
Thanks,
Ricky

This is an intense introspective. It's written with power and the reader will likely feel the passion of your words. Neatly done :)

Pain and Grief -- I like how the narrative combines these two. One often accompanies the other, and by alleviating one the other is eased :)

Good job :)

As a father and then have to be father mother and also grandfather and great grandma uncle I've seen my share and many forms of this over the past 60 plus years.
Mine I write in journal and it seems to work for me.
When I was going through my losses I call it my loss. Of time in 2003 for two and a half years I cursed Jesus every morning I woke up then I had an Awakening finally!
I would leave my house instead of staring at the stars on the deck I would go places take a walk and start becoming a human being again.
...
Severe stress which combined with the pain and grief is a killer that's how it took my wife only eight months after my son.
Thanks,
Ricky
