Thank you all for this thread. Having recently lost a son, not a child, but one who remained a child in many ways, I have loved reading these poems, wept but also received comfort from them all..two in particular, Mid-term Break by Heaney because it speaks so honestly to sibling loss...and the other, the Kooser that David posted...it is just so midwestern, like me, so like something I might do.

Thanks again, all.
