A GRIEVING PARENT IS . . . .
A grieving parent is someone who'll never
forget their child no matter how painful the memories can be
A grieving parent is someone who yearns to be with
their dead child but cannot conceive leaving their living ones.
A grieving parent is someone who has only part of a
heart as the rest of its buried with their child.
A grieving parent is someone who begs for relief from t
he memories which plague them & then feels guilty when they get it.
A grieving parent is someone who pretends to be
happy & enjoying life when they really are dying inside.
A grieving parent is someone who holds the lives of their
remaining children as the most precious gift they have.
A grieving parent is someone who can cry or laugh at the
drop of a hat whenever they remember their beloved child.
A grieving parent is someone who feels as if they've lost
their child yesterday no matter how much time has passed.
A grieving parent is someone who fears for their remaining
family because they cannot bear to have any more loss.
A grieving parent is someone who sits by their child’s
gravestone & feels a knife stabbing their heart.
A grieving parent is someone who wants to help others
who've lost a child because somehow their loss is theirs all over again.
Amen Denise
Here is a poem for
Michael from his
sisters which is on the
back of his headstone
No more pain or suffering
In tears I saw you sinking,
I watched you fade away.
You suffered much in silence,
you fought so hard to stay.
You faced your task with courage.
Your spirit did not bend,
and still you kept on fighting until the very end.
God saw you getting tired.
When a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you and whispered "come to me".
So when I saw you sleeping So peaceful, free from pain.
I could not wish you back to suffer that again
Unknown
God Only Takes The Best
God saw that you were getting tired,
And a recovery was not to be.
So he put His arms around you
And whispered, "Come home with me."
With tearful eyes, we watched you suffer
And saw you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating:
A determined spirit is at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best
Unknown
I thought of you and closed my eyes.
And prayed to God today.
I asked what makes a mother and
I know I heard him say,
A mother has a baby.
This we know is true.
But God, can you be a mother
when your baby’s not with you?
Yes, you can, He replied
with confidence in His voice.
I give many women babies.
When they leave is not their choice.
Some I send for a lifetime
and others for a day.
And some I send to feel your womb
but there’s no need to stay.
I just don’t understand this. God,
I want my baby here.
He took a breath and cleared His throat
and then I saw a tear.
I wish I could show you
what your child is doing today.
If you could see your child smile
with other children and say,
“We go to earth to learn our lessons
of life and love and fear.
My Mummy loved me, Oh so much,
I got to come straight here.
I feel so lucky to have a Mum
who had so much love for me,
I learned my lesson very quickly.
My Mummy set me free.
I miss my Mummy, Oh so much,
but I visit her each day.
When she goes to sleep,
on her pillow’s where I lay.
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek
and whisper in her ear,
‘Mummy don’t be sad today,
I’m your baby and I’m here.’”
So you see, my dear sweet one,
your children are okay.
Your babies are here in MY home
and this is where they’ll stay.
They’ll wait for you with ME
until your lesson is through.
And on the day that you come home,
they’ll be at the gates for you.
So now you see what makes a Mother—
It’s the feeling in your heart.
It’s the love you had so much of,
right from the very start.
Though some on earth may not realize you are a Mother,
until their time is done.
They’ll be up here with ME one day,
and know you’re the best one.
Broken Chain
We little knew that morning,
God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you,
the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again
If Tears Could Build A Stairway
IF TEARS COULD BUILD A STAIRWAY
AND MEMORIES WERE A LANE
I WOULD WALK RIGHT UP TO HEAVEN
TO BRING YOU HOME AGAIN
NO FAREWELL WORDS WERE SPOKEN
NO TIME TO SAY GOODBYE
YOU WERE GONE BEFORE I KNEW IT
AND ONLY GOD KNOWS WHY
MY HEART STILL ACHES WITH SADNESS
AND SECRET TEARS STILL FLOW
WHAT IT MEANT TO LOSE YOU
NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW"

MY CHILD
On the day God took you
I thought that I would die
I wondered where the time went?
I asked alot of whys??
With people all around me
I felt alone inside
From all their words of comfort,
I couldn't seem to hide,
I thought I might be dreaming
That I'd wake and find you here,
I thought "This can't be happening."
As I wiped another tear.
On the day that you were laid to rest
My heart broke yet again,
I wondered if the pain would end,
But mostly, I wondered when??
It's hard to be without you,
At times the days seem long,
Sometimes I just sit crying,
When there's really nothing wrong.
I wish we'd had more time,
Before your life was done.
I hope your resting peacefully,
My precious one

THIS IS THE LYRICS OF THE NEW SONG
I HAVE PUT ON MICHAEL SITE
FROM MICHAEL'S LITTLE SISTER
VICTORIA,THIS SAYS IT ALL FROM HER,
Hmmmmm hmmmmm
Oh I'm missin' you
Baby I'm missin' you
Mmm eyyy hmmm
Baby I'm missing you
Things'll never be the same without you
What did I do to deserve this
I didn't even get one last kiss, from you
Oh baby God took your love from me
He needed an angel so it seems
I need to feel your hands all over me
I need to feel you kissing me
I need to feel you holding me
I need to feel your touch
Cause I miss your love so much
And I can't keep on living this way
I need you here with me
Why could he take you away, from me
It's hard for me to tell you I love you
As I'm standing over your grave
And I know I'll never hear your voice again
Why did you leave me
Why couldn't you just stay
Because my world is nothin', without you
Now I don't know what to do, with myself
I would've given you anything
Just to make you happy
Just to hear you say, that you love me one last time
I'd go to hell and back over and over again
Just to prove to you how much I need you here
There is nothing that I wouldn't do
I'd cry for you
I'd lie for you
And there's no doubt that if
I could take your place in heaven
I would die for you, yes I will
I would rather give up my life
Than to see tears in your eyes
I can't stand to see you cry
Cause it's hard for me to tell you I love you
As I'm standing over your grave
And I know I'll never hear your voice again
Why did you leave me
Why couldn't you just stay babe
Because my world is nothin', without you
Now I don't know what to do, with myself
I just don't know what to do with myself
I cant stand looking at those pictures on my shelf
Knowing it was just one week ago,
i stood there and took that picture
There just one thing that I wanna know
Why would God want to hurt me so bad,
Does He know how much it hurts to be missing you
Baby Im missing you
Baby Im missing you
I love you
ooohh God damn it I love you
Why did he did he take you away from... me
Cause I love you so...
I miss you so much baby I just can't go on baby
Ohhhh oh
