Poems and Stories
Go ahead and mention my child
The one that died, you know.
Don't worry about hurting me further
The depth of my pain doesn't show.

Don't worry about making me cry.
I'm already crying inside.
Help me to heal by releasing
The tears that I try to hide.

I'm hurt when you just keep silent
Pretending he didn't exist.
I'd rather you'd mention my child
Knowing that he has been missed.

You asked me how I'm doing.
I say "Pretty good" or "fine,"
But healing is something on-going
I feel it will take a lifetime.

A Day, A Week, A Liftetime

When I wake up in the morning
I ask myself
How will I get through this day
With out you?

As I dress and prepare to start my day
I wonder
How will I go on
Without You?

As the day slowly slips away
I remember how you made me laugh
And I smile
Without You.

At the end of the day
As I prepare to close my eyes
I know in my HEART
I couldn't have gotten through the day
WITHOUT YOU.

Why God Made Little Boys

God made a world out of His dreams
Of majestic mountains, oceans and streams.
Prairies and plains and wooded land,
Then paused and thought, "I need someone to stand
On top of the mountains,
To conquer the seas,
Explore the plains, and climb the trees...
Someone to start out small and grow
Sturdy and srong like a tree," and so...
He created boys, full of spirit and fun,
To explore and conquer
To romp and run.
With dirty faces and bandaged shins,
With courageous hearts
and boyish grins!
And when He'd completed
The task He'd begun,
He surley said,
"That's a job well done!"
