As brave as a lion
( for Jackie at Christmas)

So great the burden of my sorrows
They crush and distort my soul
Gone all hopes of bright tomorrows
Gone all earhly dreams and goals

I should have loved more when I could
Held you child ,more close,more near
My child, born of my youths hot blood
So hard to stem these flowing tears

Where I as brave as you
Then I would try and smile
But souls like yours are few
Mine lies shattered by your trial

Hello my dear friend.
I have been thinking about you a lot lately.
The death of a child must be very difficult to overcome, if ever.
But, the holidays, like Christmas must be even harder to endure.
You loved her here on earth and love her now just as much Michael.
She knows you love her...
and would not want you to continue to mourn her passing.
Rejoice in the fact she is in the Lord's arms and free from pain.

Please stay in touch by email with me if you feel up to it.
Thinking of you often and wishing you the blessings of the season, Nancy.

thanks nancy
the poem is part of the healing process
they say bereavement is a process and you just have to go throught it
Jackie would say
"stop being an idiot and enjoy Christmas"
But its hard
One day at a time
