To all who've experienced a loss...

To all who've experienced a loss...

Time heals those painful wounds,
Oh yes, it certainly does!
But till that happens, you'll need to bear the pain...
Just like each one of us.

Your partner may some times just not understand,
And your friends - they're so out of clue,
That why after all this while,
You still feel so sad and blue.
 
The sight of children may upset you,
Ads for baby products may do that, too.
And when that happens, you'll be so overcome with emotion,
Not knowing what to do!
 
You'll be okay this moment, then sad the very next...
How confusing for the ones around you.
It's really not their fault, you know,
As they've never, through such a loss, been through.
 
Allow yourself to heal, my friend,
Fill your day with laughter, joy and more...
Accept that what cannot be changed,
And hope, like never before! 
 
Your day will change, your burden lighter,
But an ounce of fear may remain.
Then tell yourself to trust the One -
Who knows all your suffering and pain.
 
If your arms are not meant to hold a baby,
Don't die in the grief, my friend,
Just go and give your love to all children around...
Until the very end!
