Because of your comments, I was inspired to write another poem
From Scott to Shirley -
Thank you Shirley! Because of your comments, I was inspired to write another poem titled “Right Now”. This one a bit different. When my son passed, I received so many cards, calls, letters, etc. But none of them really seemed to hit the mark. I know the thoughts and wishes were very heart felt, but the words so generic. This was my SON I lost, my creation, the very spark of my life.
So I wrote something from the perspective of a family member or friend, who is supporting someone who has lost a child. Let me know what you think of it.
I hope one day to hear a song from you!
All my love,
Scott
RIGHT NOW by Scott Tallman: Dedicated to all grieving parents and their family and friends….
Right now you feel helpless,
So lost and confused,
God has taken your child,
You’re feeling abused.
Right now your heart breaks,
When you hear the name,
Of the child you brought forth,
Life will never be the same.
Right now you feel lost,
You keep asking how,
You struggle each day,
What will you do now?
Right now you feel heavy,
And every last step,
Like pulling an anchor,
You’re feeling inept.
Right now there is sadness,
No one can ever know,
The feelings inside you,
The tears start to flow.
Right now you are angry,
You have every right,
How could God take them,
Their future so bright!
Right now you are longing,
Please just one more touch,
One more smile, one more kiss,
For the one you love so very much.
Right now you feel lonely,
Though many are near,
Some will reach out,
While others will fear.
Right now you are feeling,
The pain so intense,
When will this pain end,
Will it ever make sense?
Right now there are no answers,
To any of this,
Right now you would long for,
One moment of bliss.
Right now I am here,
Your family, your friend,
Right now I will help you,
My shoulder to lend.
Right now you must know,
No matter what time of day,
I’m here for you always,
Together we will pray.
Right now I am sending you,
All of my love,
Right now I am with you,
You the hand and I the glove.
DEAR SCOTT
thank you so much for your poem …i have one word WOW
it touched me so deeply…as i didnt think it possible that someone would understand the extent of the pain one feels when dealing with a friends pain..
my friend lost her son 6 months ago..and its an hourly struggle… i find that since writing down our feelings and releasing brings a little comfort… especially on this blog as we get to know we are not alone…
i thank you once again…
