No one can comprehend the loss of a child. We can only have empathy and compassion and hold space for those who are struggling to deal with the process.

Why can't Heaven send you back to me?
By Michelle Morris 
12/10/2024

In that sterile room
Where they took you away 
I was left empty and bereft
It was a most awful day 

That coffin was so tiny
Holding your soft, loved form
I wanted to reach down and join you
Lie in the earth and feel some warmth 

But all was cold and dark 
In the earth and in my mind
Throughout that dismal graveyard 
Where Death looked around and smiled 

People all around me 
Yet feeling alone and afraid 
What good are religious rites
When they can't stop the pain?

Tears rolled down my face
Rivers of loss and mourning 
Nothing would console me 
I could not imagine new days dawning 

Why can't God rewind Time for me?
Why can't God erase these Feelings?
Why can't Heaven send you back to me?
Why can't you be part of my Eden?

I guess it's not for me to know 
This side of the veil
I guess I'll have to wait 
Until I'm part of this graveyard's names

My Soul once more will be Free
Beyond Earth's corporeal bonds 
Together we'll be forever, my sweet
Love and Light in Heaven's arms
