Why can't Heaven send you back to me?

No one can comprehend the loss of a child. We can only have empathy and compassion and hold space for those who are struggling to deal with the process. Why can't Heaven send you back to me? By Michelle Morris 12/10/2024 In that sterile room Where they took you away I was left empty and bereft It was a most awful day That coffin was so tiny Holding your soft, loved form I wanted to reach down and join you Lie in the earth and feel some warmth But all was cold and dark In the earth and in my mind Throughout that dismal graveyard Where Death looked around and smiled People all around me Yet feeling alone and afraid What good are religious rites When they can't stop the pain? Tears rolled down my face Rivers of loss and mourning Nothing would console me I could not imagine new days dawning Why can't God rewind Time for me? Why can't God erase these Feelings? Why can't Heaven send you back to me? Why can't you be part of my Eden? I guess it's not for me to know This side of the veil I guess I'll have to wait Until I'm part of this graveyard's names My Soul once more will be Free Beyond Earth's corporeal bonds Together we'll be forever, my sweet Love and Light in Heaven's arms © Michelle Morris, 2024
