Surviving the Shadow

Wandering the netherlands of my mind
chaotic reasonings unleashed
to will myself cruel to be kind
How was I to survive
this grief, my perpetual shadow?
Could my life somehow revive?
The year was 1999
when I at last accepted the loss
of this son of mine
The following year
out of the shadowlands of pain
I stepped first with fear
Surviving the shadow of my sorrows
my grief road endless
yet now there are my tomorrows
