Beloved Boy

Until now I’d lost all hope 

that my young boy

would once again feel joy

sometimes all we could do is cope

to our new reality 

of pain and misery

But how he recovered is a mystery 

I didn’t know that demon could flee

and leave my darling’s body so unexpectedly

This devil is known for making an entrance 

and she finally found the exit door 

I am reminded that none can feel arrogance 

when a  disease can just walk in 

and sweep you off to your knees  

She reminds us that none is immune 

that no amount of money or silver spoon 

could guarantee health or another breath 

I caught a glance in the eyes of  my boy 

 it was the last moment before he would be done

He felt peace, and happiness for a second

as he held my arm and in the other his toy 

Ill see him once more in heaven 

as my beloved boy holds Jesus’s hand

Awaiting His second coming where there shall be no more death, 

as revelation comforts this father

and shows  a future living in any more pain

Waiting in Him I  remain

Till the day we are all together 

again
