BECAUSE OF HIM

Because Of Him


I’ve learned to block the bad emotions 
Whenever they do creep 
I no longer allow myself to feel 
Anything that deep 
My eyes are finally dry 
When once they’d only weep 
Now I am the lion 
And not a willing sheep 

No longer in the shadows 
In light I show my face 
Once controlled by sadness 
With strength I did replace 
I used to always run 
But I have learned to chase 
The happiness that’s out there 
Meant for my embrace 

In a mind where all my trauma 
Was continuously replayed 
My son became my power 
With the love that he displayed 
Together in the sunlight 
He pulled me from the shade
The love between a mother and son 
Is the strongest ever made 
So thankful for the bond we share 
In this life I wouldn’t trade 
Because of him, I’ve finally healed
And now I’m not afraid

Eryn, your poem struck a chord so deep,
"Because Of Him" made my heart leap,
You’ve locked out the pain, found a lion’s might,
Every word glows with your inner light.
From shadows you’ve stepped, chasing joy so true,
That courage you show? It’s all you.
Your son, your strength, a bond so rare,
His love pulled you up, beyond compare.
It’s beautiful, that tie you’ve spun,
Mother and son, forever one.
Your healing shines, bold and grand,
Fear’s lost its grip, you’ve made your stand.
You’ve got a gift, my friend, so real,
Keep writing your heart, let it heal.
I’m thankful we’re close, that I can see,
This brilliant soul you’ve shared with me.
