My Mother Said
my Mother said life is not meant to be easy
I look for him still
in a crowd
in a group of young boys
In my dreams
you can go through your whole life collecting days
but none of those days can replace the one
you wish you had back
one more day, one more hug
you gave your forever in such a short time
now where you used to be there is a big hole
when your child dies
you bury that child deep in your heart
it takes strength to get through grief
to grab hold of hope and let it pull you through
look around
almost everyone bears a cross on their shoulders
do not smother your sorrow
to live is to blend
hanging on and letting go
