"tragedy"

A mother has gone a young girl has died and a father has lost his wife.
A child has lost a mother and a brother and a son has lost his life.
They fought everyday with tooth and nail.
They felt that their life was a living hell.
Everyone knew their lives would get worse.
So they've walked their last walk here on earth.
This tragedy that has happened is so sad.
But we thought it wouldn't be the son it be the dad.
We wish things were different and his thoughts had been turned.
One thing out of this tragedy"There's a lesson to be learned".
Please hug and kiss your kids and show them lots of love.
So we don't worry about our kids going to early to be with our lord above.
                  Teresa Skyles/Theoklapoet

Oh so sad Teresa but unfortunately these tragedies happen and the Lord does comfort us and give us strength... if u can read my Metamorphosis poem.. written for my Mother when she left ... I hope my words have comforted u in some way and expressing your feelings in this poem is the beginning of the healing process.. God bless.. Linda-Marie
