My 13 year old daughter passed away on December 6, 2002. I had this poem read at her funeral as it seemed to mirror my very thoughts and feelings that I was not able to express myself. Thank you Kelly for the lovely poem.

Keep writing Kelly even though the inspiration for this poem was the loss of your child...you have talent

Terri

I am so sorry for your loss. That poem was lovely. It brought tears to my eyes. Being a mother and having to lose a child is the hardest things in my life i had to deal with. They say with time it gets easier. But they are so wrong . there is not one day that goes by that i don't think of my daughter. Your poem came from your heart and that is where you will always have your son.
