How do they?

How do they carry on, those parents left behind,
When a piece of their heart has been torn from inside?
In the silence of night, in the echoes of day,
How do they learn to live when their child slips away?

Each dawn brings a weight, a sorrow...

Breathless In The Beauty

The sun is shining, skies are clear,
but without you, I feel the fear.
The beauty takes my breath away,
reminding me you’re gone today.

The flowers bloom, the birds sing bright,
but in my heart, an endless night.
On this sweet day, I miss...

Adventurous Souls

In the blink of an eye, they grow so fast,
From tiny hands to adventures vast.
Each day a new discovery, a step to climb,
As they blossom before us, in their own time.

Their laughter like music, their hearts pure and bold,
Each moment with...

Eternal Echoes

In the quiet of night,
Echoes of laughter fade,
A life cut short,
In shadows it laid.

Promises unspoken,
Dreams left undone,
Her absence a silence,
In a world overrun.

Each day a reminder,
Of what could have been,
A daughter's...

Dreadful Wait

These shadows cast by flickering light,
Anxiety's grip, relentless, tight.
A month of waiting and endless dread,
No sleep just nightmares in this haunting bed.

Each passing day a heavy toll,
The unknown whispers takes its toll.
In silent...

So…How Are You?!

“How are you?” they ask, as the world goes by,
A question so light, yet I choke on my reply.
“I’m okay,” the words like ash on my tongue,
A lie so stark, it feels like lungs unsung.

Inside, a sea of broken glass,
My heart pierced with each...

Raising The Shades

In the depths of sorrow, I once did drown,
Lost in the darkness, unable to be found.
The death of my daughter stole the best of me,
Leaving behind a shattered identity.

With a heavy heart and weary soul,
I wandered aimlessly, with no control....

Thank you for coming

In this quiet space where memories dwell,
You came to stand, to pause, to tell
Of bonds that time can never sever,
Your presence, a comfort, now and forever.

Thank you for coming, through distance and tears,
To honor a life we held so...

The Final Farewell

In that quiet room where shadows play,
I saw her there, where she lay.
A silence fell, so deep and wide,
My heart just broke right there inside.

She was so still, at peaceful rest,
Upon this earth she was a guest.
My daughter, my love, in...

Through The Window Pane

Through the pane of glass, I gaze outside,
Where the world blooms vast and wide.
A canvas painted green and bright,
Under the gentle kiss of sunlight.
The trees sway with whispered grace,
Leaves shimmering in their embrace.
The sky, a...

Waves

Grief, like the ocean vast and wide,
Comes in waves, a relentless ride.
One moment calm, then the next a storm,
A heart once whole is now torn.

The waves recede and they flow,
Bringing peace, then delivering a blow.
With each wave a memory...

A Mother’s Grief

In the silent chambers of a mother's soul,
A tempest rages, beyond control.
Her heart a battlefield, of grief and pain,
Where echoes of loss endlessly remain.

Each breath a burden, each sigh a cry,
As she pleads with the empty sky.
But in...
