    "Waiting For Death"

    People keep asking me how are you feeling today
    How do I answer them…there is just One way
    I feel like I’m caught in an ocean of fog
    Just stumbling along day to day….

    The fog muffles the sound of my soul as it’s dying
    My eyes stinging from the tears I can’t stop crying
    The life that was once in me is dying day to day
    But my heart just keeps on beating…God take us today!

    My world’s filled with anger…anger & pain
    The depths to which there is no end
    People all around me… yet I feel all alone
    Just waiting for God to take my son home

    Oh how I hate you & I want you to know
    How my trust in you is no more…
    How I’ll never again believe in your word
    How my soul will praise you no more…

    Gods a “loving Father” that’s what I’ve been taught
    These words just make me sick!
    What a heartless being you must be
    To let your child suffer like this!

    The day you take my son from me…
    Is the day we will be no more
    For I can never again give my love to you
    Like my son… my soul lives no more!

    My sympathy to you and your family Debra - I feel your pain and hurt - I thank God for my good days and my bad days - and I know my day will come when I must move on - but I understand, so is life, and I also understand I shall return which takes the grip of death away from me... There is nothing to be upset about when you know you shall return and death is not the death of you - it's just the beginning of another chapter... My prayers goes out for you .... KD

    Cancer has finally won the battle and my son has been taken from me. These words now hold more truth then they did when I wrote them. Aaron J. Baker 3/8/72 - 3/14/09

    dear angel, God gives each of us one life. With birth, comes death. God promises to conquer death after it occurs. Don't let failure of your expectations make you bitter; God still loves you and Aaron.

    Have you ever watched your child go through years of sickness & pain with no way to ease that burden for them. Then after all that end up with a hole in your heart...and your life. If you can go through that and still believe as you do and not be bitter then we can talk.... Angel

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
