A thousand words can’t bring you back,
I know because I tried;
And neither can a million tears
I know because I cried.

There are things that we don’t want to happen but have to accept, things we
don’t want to know but have to learn, and people we can’t 

live without but haveto let go.

It must be very difficult

To be a man in grief,

Since “men don’t cry”

and “men are strong.”

No tears can bring relief.

It must be very difficult

To stand up to the test,

And field the calls and visitors

So she can get some rest.

They always ask if she’s all right

And what she is going through.

But seldom do they take his hand,

“My friend, but how are you?”

He hears her crying in the night

And thinks his heart will break.

He dries her tears and comforts her,

But “stays strong” for her sake.

It must be very difficult

To start each day anew

And try to be so very brave -

He lost his baby, too.

When you come to the edge of all the light you know and are about to 

step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of 

two things will happen:  There will be something solid to stand on 

or you will be taught to fly.

Dream

I am drawn quietly to his grave to check on him,

Just as I’d have been drawn quietly to his crib.

I trim the grass around his marker,

And dream of trimming bangs from his forehead.

I place flowers in his vase,

And dream of placing kisses on his check.

I hold his memory dear to my heart,

And dream of holding him in my arms.

The mention of my child’s name may bring tears to my eyes,

But it never fails to bring music to my ears.

If you are really my friend, let me hear the beautiful music of his name.

It soothes my broken heart and sings to my soul.

There is only one thing worse than speaking ill of the dead –

and that is not speaking of the dead at all.

Making the decision to have a child is momentous. 

It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.
