A Mother's Curse

Oh a mother’s woes when her child first calls heaven home
Oh the mountain of tears that the heart exposed
No time on earth can the eyes dispose
No comfort can climb this mountain of her earthly woes
No comfort but time to close the distance between heaven and earth
And once and for all remove this earthly curse
When once again she sees the one to whom she gave birth

That is a very traumatic experience for parents to loose a child in death...Parents are suppose to go first..My parents adopted me ...They had their own children but lost a girl at nine months old..Then they buried both of their sons..Outlived all their biological children..Sara
