A Mother's Treasured Memory ...
As the waves crash towards me
They remind me of my grief
I could walk towards them
Allow them to bring desired relief.
I wish that I could explain
Tell you how much I miss you here
But I know that it can’t happen
Nor ever again will I hold you near.
Your suffering overcame you
For that I understand
So you chose to surrender
And fold a losing hand.
To have known you was an honor
You were special without a doubt
I want the world to know you
Your name I want to shout.
Sweet child you will always be
An inspiration to me
You taught me so many things
And how to face adversity.
But who could have predicted
Where I would be in life today
I need you more than ever now
What more can I say?
written by Susan, a broken-hearted Mom
I wish that I could tell you
All of the emotions that I feel
But because it would make you uncomfortable
My true feelings, I can’t reveal.
My grief is overwhelming
I wish I could explain
To those that can’t understand
It is a mental and physical pain.
The horrible feeling of suffocation
Is never far away
Like a crushing hand upon my chest
Will I make it through today?
Suddenly the tears fall
Wet and warm upon my face
I fight to control my urge to scream
So the world won’t think I’m a mental case.
