Suffer the Memory

Words on a sheet of paper -
lines that go from beginning to end. . .
once they were my heart and soul,
my friends who showed others
things I never could – elude me now.
There aren’t any memories
when children pass – yet,
I suffer the memory of yesterday.

A friend of mine put their 2-year old twins down for a nap. One awoke, the other still sleeps.
I bleed for Trinity Ann Gustafson and the family that worshipped her.

Extremely poignant, James.
I will pray for their lost one.

Words don't express adequately the feelings
of this.

I simply can send my thoughts to your friend - and your words always find a way into my heart.

How sad... my best wishes to you & the family of which you speak.

Incidentally,
"Words... my friends who showed others
things I never could" - I think I know exactly what you mean when you say this.
