Grieving for a Child

I lay awake in bed at night with tears running down my cheek,

Thinking of my precious child as the world is fast asleep.

Remembering him is easy, I do that every day,

But missing him is a heartache that never goes away.

Forever in my loving heart, memories of him remain,

Life goes on without him, though it never is the same.

If I seem a little distant or confused through a cloudy mind,

I’m having a moment with my child, please understand, be kind.

Never think I’m crazy when I’m having an emotional day,

For grief can come and go – it’s a mystery that way.

Sometimes I don’t want to talk, sometimes I want to share,

Please just be patient, hold my hand, so I know you care.
