This poem was written by COPE Parent Sandi Bloomberg in memory of her son Michael.
Give me a Sign
Visit me Son
In the middle of the night
Or perhaps in the bright of day
Please let me know your presence
Somehow, sometime, someway
Since you’re gone
There’s a hole in my heart
That I know will never heal
Your smile, your hugs, your gentle touch
I can no longer feel
My sweet handsome boy
How I miss you so
And dream of you each night
Life goes on for sure my dear
But never will seem right
There isn’t a place, a person or thing
That doesn’t remind me of you
I think of you every second
This is all I do
So please my Son
Let me know you’re near
Give me a sign some way
Flicker a light, kiss my cheek with a breeze
Whisper to me when I pray
I’ve been finding many pennies
Could they be from you?
They say found pennies are from Heaven
I believe this to be true
I love you Son, I miss you Son
Just any sign will do
