Jerry
I wanted you years before you were a thought so my first born I loved you right from the start long before I knew you.
I carried you in my belly so close under my heart and delighted in feeling you grow. I wished upon a shooting star for a son and God sent me the perfect one. I carried you in my arms until your little feet took off on their own. The most precious gift under the sun I had. I did my best to raise you on my own with little help here and there. You and me we were the perfect pair. I gave you and your siblings anything you wanted for the best life. You and me, we got put to the test and where you should of been living your best life, with God my soul was ripped from my chest when you were put back to rest. I love you none the less and forever I shall carry you, this time in my heart beneath my breast feeling you close til my time to be put to rest.
About this poem
I wanted to be a mom since I was a kid and when I got a chance I wished upon a shooting star for a son about 4 months into my pregnancy and got one. He and I got addicted to drugs later in life, got clean; but around his 7yr he relapsed and someone sold fentanyl taking his life. I struggle daily with grief and fight to teach others its better to reach out than leave your family in such distress.
