Kelly's Song

Kelly's Song

A Supernatural poem by Doris @doris_helmick

Our second verse for the #SPNWishList fic and art challenge! Doris wrote this a while back but thought it would fit nicely in the challenge. And boy, it surely does. Get your tissues, moms!  -- Jennie

I have to be going, my little one.
My arms will never feel your weight.
But I cannot stay, my beloved son.
Jack, know this, if you know naught else:
The cost of my love was never too great.

One Angel's dark grace gave the gift of life.
But Castiel's great love gives you hope.
A cry sliced the Empty, sharp as a knife.
An Angel, two brothers hold you:
This is your fam'ly; they will help you cope.

I see you, my son, through Heaven's gold mist.
Struggles, losses... painful to see.
I'm sad that your cheek, I never once kissed.
Your sweet baby smile, never seen:
Destiny's promise was life free from me.

Breathtakingly pure, the light of your soul.
A match to Dean's, bright as the sun.
Sam saw it first, a heart not dark as coal.
You reached for Cas, ere your first breath:
Cas broke Empty's hold; that battle was won.

Infancy stolen, so sorry, my son.
Your sweet growing days couldn't be.
In my mother's heart, you're held, little one.
Each moment I treasure you more:
And you've a fam'ly that loves you, for me.

So, we'll be together in time, my boy.
As our journeys' paths intersect.
Live, love, and learn; feel the richness of joy.
You've people who'll teach you and lead:
Stumble, fall, don't give up; show your respect.

Life hurts sometimes, and you'll feel so alone.
But don't close yourself off, my love.
There's a purpose to this life, you'll be shown.
Heed your fam'ly with heart engaged:
As I watch you and love you from above.
