In this time I sit here, <br />With these words inside my head, <br />I wonder what you're doing, <br />I should think of other things instead, <br /> <br />I don't like to let my mind, <br />Wander off in thoughts of you, <br />It just continues to bring me down, <br />Then I'm lost and feeling blue, <br /> <br />I focus on the good things, <br />That are in my life right now, <br />I pick myself up and carry on, <br />I get through the moment somehow, <br /> <br />Through the pain I find that I, <br />Can keep that little part, <br />Holding thoughts of you close inside, <br />After all you are my heart, <br /> <br />Another anniversary passed, <br />This time I didn't cry, <br />I attached wings to my sorrow, <br />And sent it off to fly, <br /> <br />Where it goes I do not know, <br />Yet I know it will return, <br />I find a place to reflect upon, <br />All the things I've learned, <br /> <br />I may stumble here and there, <br />I may even fall off my horse, <br />But I refuse to let this pain, <br />Distract me from my course, <br /> <br />Go on about your life my son, <br />I want you to have joy, <br />I also need you to be aware, <br />That you are still my little boy, <br /> <br />People tell me to be strong, <br />As you get older you will see, <br />How important your mother is, <br />That you'll come back to me, <br /> <br />In the interim I'll keep living, <br />Waking up with determination, <br />Continuing to find my smiles, <br />Getting through this situation. <br /> <br />07/19/12<br /><br />Victoria Gauci<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-are-still-my-little-boy/
