The Loss of a Child
the hardest thing in this life
has to be the loss of a child
there is no way to explain
the pain the loss hands out
the void it leaves behind
where the heart did once reside
even the thought is heartbreakingly cruel
in what the loss to a soul can do
the darkness that greets each new day
the sadness you continually have to brave
the hardest part of losing a child you've raised
is the emptiness that never goes away
I have several friends that are going through this tragedy (it really never ends does it) my prayers are with you all.
