Love Poem: Shining Down

Shining Down

One year ago
To this very day
Both of my parents
Were taken away

On the interstate
A car hit them from the side
And there at the scene
Is where they both died

Many nights I cried
Clear tears from my eyes
Like the seas or the oceans
The water never drys

Emotions running high
My sorrows I still drown
I try to stop the pain
But the rain keeps falling down

One week later the sadness
I would carry
As I placed two sets of roses
At the cemetary

A picture of us all
made my feelings run wild
Taken by my mom
It read "I love my only child"

I know your in Gods' arms
And he will love you so
But what I'd give to hug you
And never let you go

Still every night and day
No matter where the place is
If it's looking at the sun or the moon
I see your faces

I'm still trying to cope
But when I stare up from the ground
I see a glimpse of hope now that
the sun is shining down
