Oh Carol, you've made me cry first thing in the morning! Your poem is beautiful and your love for Michael rings loud and clear through the flood of tears that your heartfelt words can't help but rain on a mother's heart. Well done, my dear, well done. - Karen

    Thank you so much. It was an overwhelming day yesterday and Michael and I spent some time together at least in my heart and mind. Some times it feels like yesterday when it was so long ago. Thank you for feeling my emotions and understanding as well. Love ya, Carol

Carol, this is just beautiful. I can sense the palpatations of your heart in this one. Tears are welling in my eyes as I read about a Mother's love for her son.

    It's been a long time but sometimes it seems like yesterday. He gave me more than I will ever deserve and I thank God for those blessings. Thank you for understanding the emotions within in poem. It was suppose to be in the contest but through my tears I must have done something wrong. But it doesn't really matter. Thanks for being there to understand...Carol

    Carol, is there anyway you can post it in the contest because it's a sure fire winner?
reply by the author on 02-Nov-2009
    I am checking but probably not since the voting has started..They just asked what the name of the positing was a few seconds ago.

Carol this was superbly
crafted and heartfelt.
Being a mother, I so un-
derstand the feelings and
emotions, and the tears that
had to come with writing this
poem. No nits.. Lora

    I was in a bad moment last night and these words just tumbled out and I typed. No rhyme or reason to them except I need to say it. It was suppose to be in the contest but through my tears I screwed up somewhere...but no matter...

    Thanks for reading and sharing a special moment with me. Smiles to you, Carol

So very sad and yet some of lines protray the personality of Michael that make you smile. I liked especially trying to buy an ice cream and charging it to his dad. Good work, Carol. Best Donna

    I had some scary stuff in my life yesterday and when I was finally alone..I started thinking about my sweet boy. I just had to write it down...His picture was staring at me and I just needed to tell him. Crazy but necessary. I tried to download his picture but nerves, tears, or stupidity prevented me. Then somehow the poem isn't listed under the contest even though I paid. Just wasn't meant to be I guess. Thanks for reading....CArol

Hi Sis, you really did want me to share your tears tonight.
Each and every word in your story, embraces your Michael with ultimate love. Love for the simplest pleasures like watching the cheerios fall, dancing in the tutu, climbing into bed every night. It's these simplest memories that are the best. And when that is all you have to hang on to,they become the most wonderful treasures a mother can have, tucked away tight in her heart for ever and ever.
This is just the most precious story about your little Michael. I'm sure he is still watching those cheerios on heaven's stairway and smiling, looking at his Mum. hugs galore tonight Carol, luv from Mel xxx

    I answered this once but ....Oh well, I can say it again. He gave me more memories in a few short years than any mother would get in ten. I think he knew he was only here for a little while. Thanks so much for reading and sharing a tiny piece of memory with me. Love ya, Carol

How could I give you less than a six star rating. Such a moving and heart tugging poem. You have a talented pen. Great job of making us shed a tear.

Best regards

    Life dishes out a lot of heartache. This afternoon my grandson tried to hang himself. He can't deal with the loss of his brother DJ last year. I keep wondering why us...over and over...Thanks for reading my poem about my son. Carol

    Oh Carol, PLEASE hang in there, how can you bear it, I thought my life was in a turmoil...please tell your dear grandson that he is not alone, I have been on both of these paths...the pain will ease, it will...he MUST keep going...oh, this hurts. I wish I could help, so please just know I care...God bless and keep you dear friend. Susan

    His brother was 17 last year when he did in an accident...I don't know if Nathaniel for some reason thinking he should do the same...He just turned 17. Heard of the ghostbusters...well I'm looking for a black cloud buster for sure...Thanks for the thoughts....Carol

    Hi Carol, I am sorry, I didn't know the age of the young man. God love him, I do hope he will be ok, I feel awful for him, and you. I wrote the 3 line Haiku poem with you in mind, and put on there for all who are struggling to protect your privacy...then I thought of our troops, myself and others...please hang in there? Hugs. Susan

    My grandson Nathaniel tried to hang himself from a tree this afternoon. He can't deal with losing his brother last year. I wasn't going to enter this but I just started writing a few minutes before the contest ended I guess as therapy or some shit. I don't even know. Thanks for the review. Love ya, Carol

    Oh dear Lord, carol. what can I say...is their anything I can do?

    Is he okay? You say tried, Dear heaven, i hope it was unsuccesful.

    I'm thinking of you dear friend, I feel utterly helpless...but understand, you are never alone.

    His friend caught him in the park. He was up in the tree with the rope around his neck. I don't know if he was secretly screaming for attention or if he meant to do it. He isn't talking. I'm running a help wanted sign for anyone who can paint this black cloud a different color or better yet just hook it up and haul it away. I'm simply exhausted.

    Hey did you start writing on your book. I see fanstory has connected with them and I was thinking maybe I might too. But then I can't keep up with day to day me ....I don't know about a story.

    See what tomorrow brings!

    Love ya Suzie...Sorry to be such a downer!

    Carol
