Jett Travolta : Family Poetry

There was no desperate cry for help this morning as you passed away,

No whisper of detection that this would be the day,

Angels never came to me and told me to prepare,

I never wandered what it might be like without you there.

I am fifty years gone by and you, barely  sixteen; I guess I always believed that you would outlive me.

And had I known what lie with fate,

An arrow struck upon a date,

I would have spent it with you laughing,

Our last laugh together,

Never worried about tomorrow,

I guess I thought  it would never come,

But something said it was time to go and took you,

Ageless and so young.

Bereaved, I felt so violated; 

Striken by a cloud that swept  into the night.

Son, I know there is more that I can do to turn this all around,

I made a promise to myself; a forgotten soul cannot be found,

And in my heart as I once knew before this day came down,

Never is a broken heart that doesn't jump the train.

Public speech is not a plan,

I take a step up to the podium; exalt my tears without shame,

Understand that at this moment, I have no one to blame.

You by my side, and in my heart, is where you shall remain,

For the reason you were here, glorifies the reason why you came.
