The Days Ever After

Dearest darling Bubba

It's me again, your mumma.

I thought my world crashed,

The day that was your last,

But little did I realise then,

How life is just beginning a mayhem.

I cried, I wailed, all in vain,

I broke into pieces full of pain.

I continue to cry and wail in pain,

My voice unheard, my pleas down the drain,

For everyday, my love, has since then, been the same.

I search for that power,

That all-mighty supreme creator,

As my eyes wander,

Looking for you in every yonder,

Now each breath is a struggle,

Each move a fight of the muscle.

Without you there is no light,

Even the sun seems to shine less bright,

And the world has lost it's glitter,

The same way our family's lost the shimmer.

Your sister recalls each moment,

When you lit up life's every component.

She carries you in every way,

As she tries to add colour to this life so grey.

We fail each day to look beyond,

And crave each day to undo what dawned.

Unable to see across the darkness,

We miss you, our cute little calmness.

This question keeps running through the mind,

What have we done to be placed in this kind.

Why was our little piece stolen,

When she was the one who was chosen.

Chosen to bloom like a sunflower,

To bring smiles to the sunlight and every clover.

Chosen to complete our picture,

That she has now left ever so dimmer.

Not just that day was the disaster,

That hurricane has now become a monster.

One that took you along,

One that changed our song,

One that blew away the breeze,

And has left behind a cold freeze.

Now as this journey continues in distress every day,

I long for you, my darling, in every way.

Every day,

Day after day.
