Five More Till Five Years

My dear Nico 7-26-01 to 2-16-15

Exactly fifty-five months ago, on a dreary Winter night;
My Nico had to leave me, and catch his Heaven’s flight!
His departure was far too early, just short of fourteen years;
It should have been delayed a lot, like so many of his peers!
.
I can’t believe that in five months, five years will then have passed;
Since the last time that I kissed him, and held his body fast!
Each month on every sixteenth, I relive that horrid day;
When my Soulmate took his last breath, and had to sail away!
.
But the pain is never ending, my sorrow will never leave;
For when a parent loses a child, eternally they grieve!
So I honor him with verses, oft times to help my heart;
Which is broken now forever, because my Nico had to part!
.
.
Almost five years now
Since my Soulmate went away
My heart e’er broken
