No Parent Should Outlive A Child

No Parent Should Outlive A Child

That's Not How Things Were Meant To Be

They're Supposed To Grow And Marry

Bring Grandchildren To Our Knee

Some Things I Just Can't Understand

Our Heart's Have Been Ripped Out

Is It Wrong To Feel So Angry

I Just Want To Scream And Shout

My Throat Feels Like I've Swallowed Glass

Such A Deep Ache Always There

Life Seems To Go On In Slow Motion

But I'm Just To Numb To Care

My Mind's Finely Tuned To Special Things

Times We've Spent Together

You'll Always Be Our Treasured Child

And Stay In Our Heart's Forever....

About the Author
My name is Mary G and I love writing poems for people who are going through the grieving process. I am a trained counsellor and have also tasted grief. I have a firm faith that I will see my loved ones again one day and believe that our death is as much a process of our life as our birth. I know that God is good and will be there for us when we are at our lowest ebb...whether we ask or not... he is our loving Father in heaven and knows each and every one of us and shares in all of our pains and sufferings. I also run a facebook page'Love For All' and write free poems to support people in their grief. All poems © Mary G - Love For All
I'm Grieving, Now What?
