    My Son (Jack)

     Dear God I woke not breathing
    Why do my dreams suffocate me
    Oh god I think I am dieing
    Why do the nightmares return to me
    Oh help I think I am falling
    Why cant I open my eyes to see
    Here come the tears the I'm crying
    Why does your death still haunt me
    Been about ten years since I'v seen you
    Why did you have to go away
    The nights are cold and lonely
    Proof God doesnt answer every prayer I pray
    Just once more I wish I could hold you
    But that the hope of that has given away
    My life is so uncomplete with out you
    So many things I wish I could say
    The road has been rough and bumpy
    The tears I wish I could save
    With out you I am so lonely
    Been to long since I visited your grave
    Your face etched in my memory
    I try not to forget you, its hard but I,m doing my best
    The only chance I got to hold you
    I cradeled close to my chest
    This life empty without you
    Fate can be brutal and wild
    A man so ashmed of crying
    A father who misses his child
    I know I need to move on
    Live for today but I cant forget the past
    Seems so cruel and unfair
    Your first day of life was also your last
     
    D.B. Johnson (In loving memory Jack 7-01-1999)

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
