The Loss Of A Child

The moment that I knew you had died,
My heart split in two,
The one side filled with memories,
The other died with you.


I often lay awake at night,
When the world is fast asleep,
And take a walk down memory lane,
With tears upon my cheek.


Remembering you is easy,
I do it every day,
But missing you is a heartache,
That never goes away.


I hold you tightly within my heart,
And there you will remain,
Life has gone on without you,
But it never will be the same.


For those who still have their children,
Treat them with tender care,
You will never know the emptiness,
As when you turn and they are not there.


Don't tell me that you understand,
don't tell me that you know.

Don't tell me that I will survive,
How I will surely grow.


Don't tell me this is just a test,
That I am truly blessed.

That I am chosen for the task,
Apart from all the rest.


Don't come at me with answers
That can only come from me,
Don't tell me how my grief will pass,
That I will soon be free.


Don't stand in pious judgment
Of the bonds I must untie,
Don't tell me how to grieve,
Don't tell me when to cry.


Accept me in my ups and downs,
I need someone to share,
Just hold my hand and let me cry,
And say, "My friend, I care.
"

This is beautiful. I have a friend that lost their 6yr old daughter to cancer this past summer- I'm going to print this and drop it in the mail to them- thank you for your thoughtful words!
God Bless you

Pauline, truer words were never written. Just reading it makes me realize that there ARE other people who really do understnad and know what hell truly is. Thanks for posting it. I needed that today.
