I'Ve Never Seen So Many

In loving memory of my dear son 
he died less than a year ago
Suddenly in the blink of an eye
he went too soon aged 49 
My boy he was my only child
a gentle giant of six foot three
and truly loved by all and yet
his self-esteem so often low
I'm sure he would have thought
upon that day when laid to rest
no one would come 
why ever would they
but come they did 
from far and wide 
they came for him 
with their goodbyes 
I’ve never seen so many...

I miss his daily phone calls 
to tell me that he loved me
and saying how he spent his day
in his own inimitable way
I miss his great big bear hugs 
just like a cashmere shawl 

But now he’s gone 
I’m all alone 
with no one here at all…
