Your lines kept me in suspense. Questioning God also for the sudden loss of my only grandson. Everything seems so out of balance now. Trying to find the way...

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
Your poem is very touching and meaningful. You expressed your feelings well. Good job with the rhyme. The flow is great from line to line and verse to verse.
I can feel the sorrow and longing for understanding you felt through your words. [I am not saying I know how you feel just the way your words evoke that feeling].
Good job and thanks for sharing.

Comment from angelface2
I am so sorry about your son, TK. How old was he? If he knew the Lord, he is in a better place. If you give your heart to the Lord, He will save your soul. I think you know this, but may question it. If I didn't have faith enough to believe this, it would drive me crazy. I have lost many loved ones. Lots of them in June(different years). My husband (61), my father (63), my father-in-law, a daughter-in-law (41), my best friend (52), my (almost) daughter-in-law at 38 yrs of age. It takes a heap of faith to keep believing. Love your trips up the mountain! One day we will understand why. :>D Miss Sally

Comment from LIJ Red
I might peck on that meter a little more, but that's an opinion. I somehow got hooked into the notion you were speaking as Moses, who had to make another trip up Sinai after he smashed the tablets...this world deals us some monstrous
losses. Excellent post.

Thank you much Red..Think you have to read the 1 and 2 to be able to understand #3... It was me experiencing the moments of losing my son and where I went to be alone.. Meter I did not chose to count if I did too much would have been left on the cutting board.
But I do agree at times a meter can be really screwed when written by a meter eater hehehe

Comment from K. Lorraine
Part three concerned me a little. I pray that you are okay. I felt you waver in this poem and I've known you only to be as strong as a rock. I felt your pain over the loss of your son... I don't know what it is like to have a permanent loss such as yours, but I have lost my only daughter and I don't know the reason why she left me. It is like I don't exist and she has no use for me as her mother. She has created a distance between us and all of my prayers seem to have fallen on deaf ears.
Said to take His hand
Put my trust in Him
But I must be honest
My faith now is rather dim ... Sir Knight, I've tried, but I feel like I'm such a failure.
Thank you for being my friend and always saying the right thing. FS Friends... Lady Kay

My sweet lady Kay I am fine... my son passed by his own hand 15 yrs ago this Sept. Why somethings happen like you and your daughter I can never understand myself..Now if there was some underlying reason, yes it could be understood but only if you knew what it is.I was what they called a little bastard when born in Dec 1945. They say my mother married my biological father but still have not been able to prove such...Now my maternal Grand Parents were so disgraced and harped on my mother about it for 3 yrs until she couldn't take it anymore. ..She took her own life at age 22. Now there is a reason that can be understood My biological father I saw him one time back in 1972... have had no other contact with him...So sometimes I guess not understanding as long as they are with us Beats the hell out of understanding and having them not with us. Unfortunately for me with my son I knew neither..
Take care my dear Lady Kay and thank you for being my friend on here as well

Comment from Pam (respa)
-This is a beautifully written poem that words cannot begin to be enough to describe.
-After reading your author notes, I now understand the importance of these poems to you; they are more than poems; they are your heart and soul. I am so touched by your words and so sorry for your loss.
-I would think questioning is normal for most people who have experienced such a loss in their life.
-This poem, and the series, is flawless.
-There is no need to comment on poetic devices, etc., as your words say everything. I hope the writing of these words has helped the pain, and I know your son has to be proud.

Thank you so very much for not only the beautiful colored 6 you have awarded me but you kind warming words as well..Think now it's time for Tarny, my altered ego teddy bear, to come back on scene.. He will make us smile if I know him and yes I do know him well lol

You are very welcome for the six stars. I didn't know there was an alter ego, Tarny, the teddy bear. I will look forward to seeing what he has to say:)
Comment from boxergirl
Another great climb up the mountain, TK. I think this one might be the best because you acknowledge your vulnerability and hurt felt when you lost your son. This type of tragedy is the hardest for us to understand and does cause us to question our faith. God are you there? Do you care?
But these are the times we need Him most and even though we don't understand His plan...we trust Him to help us through it. Hugs!

I am so sorry to hear your son has passed away. I have also lost loved ones and questioning why is what I also often do. Fluent rhyme used in this poem.
Take courage!

Comment from TAB_that's me
I can't imagine losing one of my children but I do know there is a better place. How old was your son when he died? I feel God needed him to do better work up there (as an angel?) or that by taking him he saved him from something terrible that might have happened to him (drugs, abuse, whatever?). I don't know but hope it helps some and makes a bit of sense to you. It is ok to be angry at God about it.

I'm sorry about your son taking his own life. I think that makes it even more difficult.
Comment from nomi338
Very Good T.K. I feel compelled to say this and I hope it helps. Death comes to all men because as Romans chapter 5, verse 12 says: just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, death spread to all men because they had all sinned. Now this does not mean that your son was punished because he actually sinned, inherited sin is why we all are subject to death. the good news is that death acquits us of sin which means we are in line for resurrection. I did not mean to preach to you, but I thought it might help you to know that your child does not suffer and you have an excellent chance to see him again.

Thank you so much Nomi for you kind words..Now my son took His own life...If you are a believer I am not so sure he is not suffering..But that is just how one interprets things... I want to thank you again for visiting the Mountain Top with me... And No I do not feel at all that you are preaching to me Sir Nomi..When words are coming from ones heart that is not preaching that is love for ones fellow man..Thank you again
Aloha from both of us

I used to believe that when a person took their own life that there would be no forgiveness. I have come to know that God is compassionate and He looks at motivating conditions when a person acts. It could well be that your son faced things that he believed he could not deal with or overcome. God is not evil, he forgives much.

I would like to believe that my friend but in my heart I can not..But again that is my way of thinking..I have no problem with those who think otherwise Or else My Mermaid would have already sent to Davey Locker lol I thank you my friend for being the wise person you are ..And I consider you not just a writing friend but a true friend as well ..I know My Mermaid thinks the same..Have a great week end and remember those who died so we can say it

The sentiment on behalf of both you and the Mermaid are returned one hundred percent. From to the both of you.
