A Mother's Broken Heart
Jan 02, 2003
not only did i lose a child thru etopic preg in 1986, my only living child age 6 was killed when struck by a truck riding his
bicycle in 1989,two very special people came to my aid, in helping
me realize life isnt over and i have to move on. these special people my father inlaw and my husband. i lost my father inlaw to
lung cancer,1991 on my birthday, my husband i lost due to a drunk driver in 1996. i have had my share of loses, and i am only 39.i'm
sure as i get older there will be more. my way of coping,poetry.
in loving memory of my son.
A MOTHERS BROKEN HEART
WHEN I SAID GOOD-BYE
I TRIED NOT TO CRY
NOT KNOWING WHAT TO SAY
UNBELIEF
IT WOULD END THIS WAY
AS I STOOD BEFORE YOU
WATCHING YOU PEACEFULLY SLEEP
IN A SHINY WHITE BED
THAT IS YOURS TO KEEP
LINED IN WHITE SATIN
TRIMMED IN GOLD
HANDLES ON THE OUTSIDE
FOR THE MEN TO HOLD
WITH FLOWERS AT YOUR FEET
AND A PILLOW AT YOUR HEAD
ALL KINDS OF FLOWERS
THAT SURROUND YOUR BED
WITH POWERED WHITE SKIN
ALL DRESSED IN BLUE
WITH YOUR LITTLE HANDS FOLDED
COULD,THIS REALLY BE YOU
AS MY DREAMS LAY BEFORE ME
AND MY WORLD COMES CRASHING DOWN
I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE
YOU NOW LAY,BENEATH THE GROUND
AS A MOTHER WISHES ONLY GOOD
FOR THE CHILD THAT SHE BARED
I ONLY WISH TO GO BACK
TO THE PAST WE ONCE SHARED
ONLY ONE KNOWS
WHY WE HAD JUST A START
BUT THEY SAY TIME WILL HEAL
THIS MOTHERS BROKEN HEART
