In the last year I have heard of a couple of people in my community losing their children to accidents. I can’t even begin to imagine the pain they are feeling, it crushes me to even think about this happening to my family. I wrote this tonight:
LOSS
How do you go on after a loss like that,
Knowing your arms will no longer hold him tight,
No way to tuck him in where he’s gone,
No more kisses goodnight.
I don’t want to feel that pain ever,
Though I feel it deep in my heart,
A life not fully lived, cut short
Before it really had time to start.
I don’t know you at all,
As a parent my heart feels your pain,
Knowing your life has to go on,
Never to be the same.
I don’t know where you’ll find solace,
I hope it gets easier day by day,
Know there’s an angel watching over you,
Guiding you, helping you find your way.
Why do these things happen,
No one really knows,
Remember him in your heart,
As your family grows.
Those near to you grieve also,
Though we will never understand,
The strength and courage it will take,
Do the best you can.
How will you go on from here.
Only you can decide,
Don’t lose yourself, love yourself,
Love others, don’t hide.
Love to all those parents who have lost a child to soon🌾
