DEAR SON!!

Dear Son, 

it's been a while since you left 

I didn't even get a chance to hold you in my arms

You didn't give me a chance to say hello

To atleast hear your first cry

To atleast welcome you to the world

You came ready to leave

You didn't experience the air we breathe

You didn't get a chance to see the outside

You only went with the memories of my womb

You never fed on your own

Feel the sun on your tender skin

Nor Hear the noise in the neighborhood. 

Dear Son,

You crossed the bridge to soon

Weren't you eager to meet your Fam?

To know your Mom and Dad?

To know whether you had other siblings.

We were all waiting for your arrival

Your aunts and grandma ready to ululate 

But it's all good, it's God's will.

You know what,

I still look forward to being with you one day

I don't know whether I'll recognize you,

But I can't wait to hold you in my arms

See your tiny fingers wrapped around mine

See your eyes squint to the unusual brightness 

See you playfully throwing your arms and feet.

I wish we had even a day together

Just to tell you how much I love you

Show you how much you meant to us.

If only God gives reasons as to why things happen the way they do,

Then I'd have asked Him why he took you so soon

Before the world changed your innocence 

But maybe I'll ask Him in the next life

with you by my side 

Every day I look to the sky and hope you're doing the same

Looking down,watching me wave at you

Before I cross the bridge and come be with you

I promise to never leave your side

I'll try compensate for all the years lost

Hang in there buddy,

I am almost home.
