Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Alex If you came back now would you see the new tile in the kitchen the new furniture your bed thats missing? I have put away your little clothes red mittens on a string (tears came at those) Would you see that we have changed some things but mostly we're the same would you recognize us right away do you hear me call your name? this is supposed to be a holiday friends and family thanks to give but for me it is a reminder of the one who doesnt live of you, who never got to see the new couch or the floor I wish that we could stay the same and have you back once more Jesse had a birthday hes five now you're still three I guess you will a toddler stay an angel you will be I want to say Im sorry to hold you one more time I cannot change the things that are done I cant go back to when you were mine But I wanted you to know that even though things will probably change that I will always have a spot in my heart that bears your name.december 00, 3 months after the death of my son, I cant explain it any better than that...
