Damn What?

BY Derek Rempfer

Damn the night and
Damn this dream
Pray for the light and
Try not to scream

The link to life becomes
The link to death
Around the neck and
Squeezing out death

I beg for the day
I cry for the sun
I beg for my wife and
I cry for my son

To look in his eyes
Or to know his cry
I offer my life
Just to understand why…

God gave his son
But someone took mine
Was that you Father
Please send me a sign

Grant me my answer and
I’ll serve thee divine
Christ died for our sins
Did Ethan for mine?

Damn this day and
Damn this light
Pray for a dream,
Bring on the night

A dream of my child
And what should have been
A life with his family.
Don’t let that dream end.





Please visit Ethan's page and read the words I have written for him. Look at the horrible pictures, but see the real beauty. And sign the guestbook, even if just to say "I'm sorry for your loss." Every signature is a little prayer that lifts Ethan higher and mitigates our pain a little. Lifting Ethan
