Sadlosses but continued life

Not only has my one true love gone forever
My dearest darling son was taken too
The horrors of that fateful day
Relived forever, come what may.

With aching heart we face the sad reality
Of lives forever altered due to that fatality
No more treasured moments shared
No more love from those two who cared.

Together they were taken tragically away from us
An unexpected turn in life’s journey for all of us
Together you have a new reality
I too must accept its finality.

Confused and lost I function day by day
With the help of others I will find the way
In my broken heart I truly know
You are both with me now and where to go.

Ours is not to wonder why
Just to travel on and not let life go by
Make your mark and never forget
The love and laughter of those who’ve left.

Honor the many fond memories
Treasure the days you shared in the breeze
Make their lives mean more than their death
Hold on to life and cherish your every breath.
