YEAR 24- A POEM

YEAR 24

Its another day that you are gone
People say with time I'll heal 
But they are wrong
Everything I see reminds me of you 
From the music I play, to the sky so blue
Heaven is so far away 
And yes I know there will come a day
That we will be together
Separate no more
Your life was so short
Only year 24
Days will go by and life will continue
I will smile, laugh, a tear will trickle
I love you my angel you will never be
Only just a memory
For you are my son, we will never be apart
Even though you are gone
You will always be in my heart.♡

dedicated to my son Christopher Michael King who lost his battle to heroin 
on 12/01/2012. 

I wrote this poem a few days after Christopher passed.  I couldn't figure
a title and my son Matthew looked at me and said, "Its in the poem mom. It should be called 
Year 24." Seemed to stick.

This was a very dark time for me.  But even in dark times as you can tell by my poem, I was
trying and looking toward the future.  I just couldn't give it.  There was just to much to continue to live for.
