When a Child Dies I won't say you'll get over it because you won't that kind of hurt never leaves I won't say I know how you feel because I don't I'm not in your place I won't say your other children will comfort you because they may not there may not be others I won't say never mind, you'll have another because that won't help another will not replace the one lost I won't say pull yourself together because I haven't been in your shoes or understand your pain I will say I'm here, I care, anytime, anywhere I'll cry with you, we can talk about the child I'll share in your grief and memories and your burden I'll try to ease I'll be there < !signature--> [This message has been edited by Danny Holloway (edited 03-08-2000).] |

moving piece. your friend is lucky. recently i had a friend lose her unborn baby and it killed me along with her. i wrote a piece called "prayer for baby" about it. its truly sad to lose a child whether unborn, or at anytime in their life. i cant imagine. great piece. aimee Trust I seek and I find in you. Everyday for us something new. Open mind for a different view, and nothing else matters. --Metallica |

As a parent - I can say the death of a child is my worst fear. In knowing parent who have lost their children, I can say there truly isn't much one can say.... it's purely wrong in nature to have it happen this way. It's devistating. Your poem offers all one truly can. It's beautiful and sincere. Bless you, Danny. michael |

It's nice to know that you have someone to be there for you, care, and all that, specially when a loved one has passed. Really nice poem, yet so sad. Much love, One love, PEACE |

Danny what a beautiful poem, what a lovely heart you have. As you know from the pic I have a son. I couldn't even begin to grasp the pain of losing him, I reckon if I did, I'd go insane, I don't know how any parent could ever get over it. I lost an unborn daughter and that was hard enough, I hadn't spent years with her or anything. How old are you Danny, just wondering... May the world hug you today, With it's warmth and love. I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart, That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world, Wishing you well and wishing you love...... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |
