These beautiful words moved me to tears.  I cry easily these days.  

Without You

 

Living without you is like;

Learning to dance without music

Learning to love without a heart

Wanting to scream without a voice

Learning to fly without wings

Driving a car without a steering wheel

Seeing a sunset without eyes

Wanting to talk without having words

But somehow I am managing to go on

…Half a person

…Half a heart

…Half a soul

Living without you

Has changed me

You might not know me anymore

STRUCK

I found this wonderfully talented poet blog when I was reading some Freshly Pressed blogs.  This woman is a member of the “My Child is Dead” club too.  When I read these words they echoed through my soul.  I am hoping that I will feel whole again…I don’t yet.  
 
I miss my child!!!!!
 

Most of the time I feel you are here with me

Most of the time I feel whole again

But comes a day like today

When I feel your loss

More sharply than before

It makes my heart hurt

And my feelings sink

I feel as if I am rooted to the earth

And cannot move

 

I tell myself that I just need some time

I will recover

And go on

And move more freely

 

I will wait until your memories stop by again

And have them restore me to whole

Yet again.

Tears are sacred…


“There is a sacredness in tears.  They are not the mark of weakness, but of power.  They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues.  They are messengers of overwhelming grief…and unspeakable love.”

–Washington Irving

 

It’s not my time….


Jared sent me the lyrics of this song. I walked to his room and said “These are beautiful lyrics Angel.”

“I think this is how Mom must feel Oumie” he said….

    It’s Not My Time Lyric – 3 Doors Down

    Looking back at the beginning of this
    And how life was
    Just you and me and love and all of our friends
    Living life like an ocean

   But now the current’s only pulling me down
   It’s getting harder to breathe
   It won’t be too long and I’ll be going under
   Can you save me from this?

‘Cause it’s not my time, I’m not going
There’s a fear in me and it’s not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know, ooh, but I won’t go

I look ahead to all the plans that we made
And the dreams that we had
I’m in a world that tries to take them away
Oh, but I’m taking them back

‘Cause all this time I’ve just been too blind to understand
What should matter to me
My friend, this life we live, it’s not what we have
It’s what we believe in

It’s not my time, I’m not going
There’s a fear in me, it’s not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know

But it’s not my time, I’m not going
There’s a will in me and now I know that
This could be the end of me
And everything I know, ooh, but I won’t go!
I won’t go!

There might be more than you believe
(There might be more than you believe)
And there might be more than you can see

But it’s not my time, I’m not going
There’s a fear in me, it’s not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know

But it’s not my time, I’m not going
There’s a will in me and now it’s gonna show
This could be the end of me
And everything I know

There might be more than you believe
(There might be more than you believe)
And there might be more than you can see
But I won’t go, oh no I won’t go down, yeah
