Mother’s Day Poem
Written by Clayton’s Mother
4/25/04
Mother’s Day or ordinary day
for me it’s hard to tell,
another holiday without Clayton
an empty feeling I’m learning to well.
I have no mother to give a gift
no Sunday family dinner for me,
I no longer have Clayton
I wonder how could this all be?
Clayton is in heaven with my mother
his Granny Brenda–we Loved her so,
why I am left here without them
I guess that only God knows.
Even though I miss them very much
I still have gifts to give and receive,
God will see me through this
in that I strongly believe.
I will drive once again to the cemetery
and visit my mother’s and son’s grave,
and I will pray that God keeps me strong
so hopefully another life I can save.
My mother passed due to bad health
and that I can understand
but why adults gave my son drugs
an answer from them I demand!
Because of them I’m left childless
yes it’s them I fully blame
I hope if they ever read this
they hang their heads in shame!
I can’t believe that he is gone
another holiday with an empty space
Mom give him a kiss for me
Noone can ever take his place.
