The Scar

It feels I held you so briefly
But I cherished every minute.
I loved you the moment
You entered my life.
Your time was far too short
I fear all you felt was pain.
It kills me to think
You may have never knew my love.
It seems so unfair
You were taken from me so quickly.
I know you fought so hard
But in the end your strength failed.
You slipped away from me
And I'll never be the same.
I hope you know I love you
Then, now, and forever.
I wish I knew how
To make this consuming pain fade.
Without you my heart is wounded
A scar that always remains.
I think of you every minute
Of every hour, of every day.
I worry that I failed you
That is my fault you went away.
Why am I not deserving
To give a mother's love?
I will never understand
This plan from up above.
My heart aches for you
I miss you my beautiful son.
