All the Mothers

I cry EVERY TIME I come here, But I just cant stay away
Cus I know you ladies are all feelin..... what I'm feelin.... EVERYDAY!

I read your posts and cry, my heart breaks for all of you
As we share the deepest sorrow, that we wish we never knew

I don't know why we're destined, to share this awful fate
wanting our loved ones back ,but NO we have to wait

I'm NOT suicidal ....although it briefly crossed my mind
as you all KNOW the "maddness" of being left behind

We wonder if they are happy....We wonder if their "ok"
We wonder if we had a chance....what exactly would we say?

We wonder if we could of saved them....IF we only knew
We wonder if they can feel the hole, left in our hearts...... X2

We cry for a minute EVERYDAY (sometimes a lil' more)
Holding dear the memories of happier times before

Before that awful moment, A parents worst nightmare comes true
And changed our lives FOREVER....Thats what I share with all of you!

I know im not alone struggling with faith and hope
It's not like theres an option...THE ONLY PATH IS COPE!

Just really wanted to let y'all know, the energy here is ...so real ..so deep!
Also , "Thank-You" for the lifelong friends.... AND ones I've yet to meet!
