This Cannot Be Poem by Annabel Cruz

This Cannot Be

Rating: 5.0


shattered glass and spinning wheels
A wreck that took a young man's life
This cannot be.....
A New Year's Day once full of hope
Now filled with grief and pain
This cannot be....
A mother's birthday once full of joy
Now the day to bury her son
This cannot be.....this cannot be.....
Oh God, oh God
This cannot be

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
On New Year's Eve, just before midnight, a car accident claimed the life of my friend's 19 year old son. On Friday, her birthday, she will burry him.......my grief and sorrow for her loss have no words.....this is but a sad attempt to put to words my disbelief.
