| "Think Before You Speak" Dear Friend, today you broke my heart, In a place that was unbroken. You did it with your thoughtless words That should not have been spoken. You know that I am grieving; That my pain is deep and real. Your hurtful words pierced like a knife, How do you think I feel? You may not suffer from my loss Or share this lonely grief; But I'm mourning my baby, Whose life was much too brief. I'm sure you don't know how I feel, I don't expect you to. Don't ask me to get over it... That something I can't do. Without grief there is no healing, It's a journey I must make. It's not the path that I would choose, But one I'm forced to take. No matter how you choose to see me What I am going through, I need compassion and support... I'd do the same for you. ~Gwen Flowers~ Mommy of Hannah, Skylar, and Jordan |

| Don't tell me that you understand Don't tell me that you know... Don't tell me that I will surely survive, How I will surely grow... Don't tell me this is just a test, That I am truly blessed... That I am chosen for the task, Apart from all the rest... Don't come to me with answers, That can only come from me... Don't tell me how my grief will pass, That I will soon be free... Don't stand in pious judgement, Of the bonds that I must untie... Don't tell me how to suffer, And don't tell me how to cry... My life is filled with selfishness, My pain is all I see... But I need you, I need your love, Unconditionally... Accept me in my ups and downs, I need someone to share... Just hold my hands and let me cry, And say, My friend, I care... ~Author Unknown~ |
