Poetry: Death of a child

by DarKon

Created on: May 18, 2008

It is a year now since that fatal day / Grampa K.
It has been over a year since that fatal day
When God took Dakotah and Austin away
To be with Him everyday.

I still know not why
this had to be
I have asked many times, Why me?

Tears still flow like a river to the sea,
My heart is still heavy.
It's hard to believe
how two little lives can affect me.

I can still hear their laughter
see them smile
and hear them playing.

To think of their dreams of being grownup someday,
To be a great football player, doctor, or what may
The dreams of these little boys
will never fade away.

How great they could have been
here on Earth, I do not know
But their greatness in heaven
can never be told.

To be with them in Heaven is my future goal.
Until that time comes
when God calls me home,
I will keep my boys in my heart
for they will Never Grow Old.

Love, Grampa
