Nightmare
Your children should never leave earlier than you.90 total reviews
Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
The plans that are made in Heaven are quite different than what we perceive our life should be. This truly upsets the yin and yang of what we feel is meant to be. But when we survive the initial shock and ameliorate what has been chosen for us with our existence, we often find a better future than we ever dreamed we'd have.
This scenario would have cut me to the core. When good things happen we feel the angel we know has touched our lives.

Congratulations Bob on this heartfelt poem. I can't imagine the pain of losing a child. You are so right, we should go first.
We are in the midst of moving so I am way behind on my reviewing but I always enjoy reading your work even this very sad one. I am so sorry for your loss.
Blessings

Bob:
As I was reading this, I was so wishing it was not biographical;
however, the raw emotion and the illustration had already told
my heart that it was. You lost your so the year my only child,
my daughter, was born.
Hopefully, I am back for longer this time!

"Nightmare" is an extremely well-written and heart-wrenching piece. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. With a minimum of words, this talented poet has told it as it is. I look forward to seeing your next post.

The death of your son has had a large impact on you. We don't know why these things happen, but young as well as old can be taken. I see that this won a "Feelings" contest, as it deserved to. The emotion clearly comes through in the poem. judi

Comment from Debbie Pope
This poem is so aptly named. To lose a child is beyond nightmarish. And the horror never goes away I'm sure. Your poem is for all those who lose a child. I pray for all of you.

Comment from susand3022
Hi Bob, Within the last week, I have had a seizure and had to give up driving... again... making me also have to let my son drive everywhere on his own, and also drive me everywhere, all at once. Talk about making me jump right in. (Yes, I said me... ) Something tells me that he has been ready to do this for a while, and it's been me that's been holding him back. Well, now I can't. A silver lining for my cloud? I guess I'll have to wait and see. Still, I can't imagine not having all of this to go through at all.

Comment from brenda faye curtis
I was so sorry to hear about this tragedy in your life. My father, who is now 84, has suffered the same type of loss, having buried one son. one daughter, and two grandsons. He has had to develop the philosophy that all of life is a tapestry, and we don't get to decide what pattern it will be weaved into, but that all these events happen as they are supposed to, and maybe we're not meant to understand why. This philosophy has helped me as well.
