ELEGY FOR A BOY LOST


When she looked in his eyes,
she could see her soul.

The world around her
disappeared
and love and caring
filled the void 
between their existence

And the moment
he was lost.

She remembered
blue eyes,
so sparkling
and bright

They seemed to hold
her very essence
entwined
with his.

How does a mother
mourn
the loss of one
so young,
so tender?

When does the healing
start,
the heartache end?

In July 2014 a 15-month=old
boy died in his parents’ car,
forgotten by his father on a
90 degree day in Ridgefield. His
mother shared her grief with
our paper.
