Just Believe

I see your pain my friend

And it cuts me deep inside,

To know the anguish you've been through

And how you try to hide.

You paste a smile upon your face

For everyone to see,

But no one knows what you've been through

How your heart has cease to be.

We've all lost loved ones this is true

But there's one you cannot compare,

The loss of a child, God how can it be?

Such feeling of hopeless despair.

I can't even imagine, Lord willing I won't

Not sure I could even go on,

But God had a plan, for your little man

For the Angel he found in your son.

You're right, there is nothing to compare to the horrific abcess that envelopes the human spirit like the loss of a child no matter how old. I could go on all day but words simply do not suffice. thank you

I have never had to suffer that pain by a loss of a child, but I have lost dear family members, at a very young age. It is terrible. A pain I wouldn't wish on anyone. Thank you for reading and reviewing.

I was going to post an old poem on this subject today but didn’t.
It’s a difficult subject and isn’t covered much; I think you’ve done a very good job.

[smurfett]

Thank you Mark...I actually wrote this for a friend of mine that lost her son. He was a friend of my son.

Thank you very much Ian. I just can't stand the hurt she is going through. I hope this can at least bring a smile to her face. I know there will be tears, but as long as they're tears of happiness....I'm happy
