Time Never Gave Back

Poem by: Me

By Pegie SchwickPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I see the toys scattered in the yard

Never realized this would be so hard

Can’t make myself throw them away

Wishing you’d be back with me one day

Oh how I wish you were in my arms

We’d play all day with the People Farm

Then we’d go out in the back

I’d help you find your excavator tracks

We’d dance, sing and stack the rings

I’d even let you play with that “Echo” thing

Your life was too short to worry bout that

The memories we made

Time never gave back

They say that “ time heals the blues”

There’s never a day I don’t ache for you

I miss my little fearsome boy

I know you’ll be waiting at Heaven’s door

To welcome me with open arms

Hoping you knock me to the floor

From excitement inside you can’t contain

Oh how I long to hear you say my name

So until that day we meet at Heaven’s gate

I’ll cling to our memories no one can take

You grew under my heart

From the day you were made

Forever inside it you will remain ❤️
