(the following poem is dedicated in honor of all bereaved parents and in loving memory of all our children)
~ For Valentine's Day ~ S.W.A.K. (Sealed With A Kiss)
Remember how we used to write to those we loved the best? Our letters we would fill with hopes and dreams and seal them with a kiss.
To you, our child, we write today - and wish we could impart, The hopes and dreams that once we had, now crush our breaking hearts.
The thoughts of what we had planned for you float through our wishful minds, Then burst like bubbles in the air, while dreams explode with time.
And yet we still have hope and still dream on, and think of all we'll miss, And wish with all our hearts we could write to you, and seal it with a kiss.
The grief we have for you is like a weight upon our chests, There's no way we can ignore it - it never gives us rest.
And no words could ever tell of our longings to express, To write a love letter to you, our child, and to seal it with a kiss.
And if we had but one chance more to write to you today, The words would come with no regrets and we'd like for them to say...
"To love and to be loved by you, our child,...an honor and so blest, Our time on earth cut short, it's true ... But We Sealed It With a Kiss."
