THE DEEPEST VOID

Your death has left such a deep void

That no one could ever fill.

I cherish the memory of you darling

And I always will.

Tenderly you gave to me

Your love that I wear with pride.

The only thing that helps me now

Is that I know you are still by my side.

I just can`t see you

But I feel your tender arms.

And thats the only thought now

That helps to keep me calm.

If I could have a wish today

But never be granted anymore.

It would be to simply see you

Come running through the door.

I would ask for an hour

To spend with you son

I`d just sit and hold your hand

Then cuddle you some more.

No one else would be invited

There`d be just you and me.

We`d laugh about your baby days

And how things used to be.

Then just before you had to leave

I`d tenderly kiss your cheek.

Then look deep into your gentle eyes

As we`d have no need to speak.

I know this could never be

So this pain is beyond belief.

There are no words the angels could say

That could ever bring me rest.

Since death took you from my arms

And left me totally bereft.

Although you`ve left my little world

And we`ve been forced apart.

Time is supposed to heal

But it could never heal this heart.

As I travel on, this task gets harder still.

Facing the fact that you`ve gone

And it always will.

You`ll never be out of my thoughts

Every day I weep endless tears.

Because I love you darling

Oh why Lord, can`t I still have him here.

He saw you getting weaker

And he had to do what he knew best.

So he tenderly put his arms around you

And took you home to rest.

Now the house is so lonely without you

Life for me will never be the same.

But this world could be a haven

If I could have you home again.

When you were here I cherished you

With all my love and care.

But didn`t know what heartache was

Till you slipped away in my arms right there.

A smile can hide my tears

A laugh can hide my pain.

But nothing stops this longing

I can`t bear this sweety

I just want you back home again.

In my heart I hold your smile

Your voice I can still hear.

I know you are still with me

Trying to soothe my pain

I can`t help myself

I just wish you were still here.

I miss you so much Andrew. I love you sweety.

Love Mum xxxx
