Goose-Bumps

Whenever I see a mother cry My skin covers itself in goose-bumps My eyes well up my throat feels choked I really can't bare such raw intense grief I wish I could help them Save them Take away the aching pain Wipe away broken tears A grieving mother never heals I know this as true Her days will be forever cradleing what memories remain She will never hold her head the same Her heart filled with despair An emptiness one will never truly know Unless you have had to let go..
