The Days Of December

The days of December would be days I would dread
For it was just last December that I found my son dead
The first few months the pain was so new
Visions were everywhere out of the blue
Nightmares were many tears I did cry
Still to this day I just don't know why
As the year was coming close to me
My mind and heart was very empty
Then one day I would meet a new friend
There was no beginning and there was no end
The pain and misery she seen in my heart
She told me how to set it apart
To say goodbye and let him go
He needed to move on so he could grow
My love for him would always be apart
Looked away tightly inside of my heart
Thanksgiving came and Thanksgiving went
Now it was time to get ready for the big event
The 14th of December would make it one year
It felt like a year ago the image was clear
My birthday was seven days later and Christmas 4 more
I didn't know what to expect my feelings were unsure
Christmas day came I thought I would be strong
I was to find out the tears would prove me wrong
Three days after Christmas his services we had
I remember that day and how I was sad
A year has come and went so fast
I can't imagine last Christmas past
One thing I know and this I am sure
My love for him will forever endure
The days of December came to an end
To be relived each year again and again
