Heal My Pain-The Poem

In the midst of my grieving, I began to journal and the words to this poem about the loss of my son came forth.

Heal My Pain

Dear God, I praise Your Holy Name

I come to You today in excruciating pain

Something has happened and I’ll never be the same

I have lost my son, oh, how I wish it weren’t true

I have lost my son, I don’t know what to do

I have lost my son, I need some help from You

I have lost my son, he is not here anymore

I have lost my son, he won’t be coming thru the door

I have lost a son that I can no longer see smile

I have lost a son whose phone number I can no longer dial

I have lost a son whose voice I can no longer hear say

“Mom, don’t you know I love you” in a special way

I have lost my son, and the joy of hearing his laughter is now gone

It’s hard for me to hear his favorite song

I have lost my son, no more hugging, no more kissing

I have lost my son, and now a part of me is missing

I have lost my son that I love so much

Oh, what I would give to once again touch

My son, my son his pictures I now clutch

I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye

I didn’t get a chance to wipe a tear from his eyes

It doesn’t seem fair, it doesn’t seem right

For pain to grip you and hold you so tight

Heal my pain

Dear Father, I pray

Heal my pain

Please may it go away

Heal my pain

I don’t want it to stay

Heal my pain

Dear God, would You do that for me today
