Between Two Worlds!
A poem about the pull between carrying on and wanting to be with your Loved one!
The day my son died was the worst moment of my life!
I relive the moment over and over wondering why?
Even now over two years later the pain is still etched in my memory,
As if it were yesterday and I keep reliving the day my life changed.
I feel as if I am living in two worlds, one called life the other called death,
Part of me wants to be here with my children, the other to be with my son
A battle I fight every day, but it is bringing me to the brink of depression
I can't go on like this living a half life!
Today I have to say enough is enough. Of course I will have sad days,
It's time to stop living between two worlds,
I must learn to live in the present and make a difference
I can hear Andrew saying Mum I am at peace live life and be happy!
