The Loss of a Child

THE LOSS OF A CHILD

The moment that I knew you had died,

My heart split in two,

The one side filled with memories,

The other died with you.

I often lay awake at night,

When the world is fast asleep,

And take a walk down memory lane,

With tears upon my cheek.

Remembering you is easy,

I do it every day,

But missing you is a heartache,

That never goes away.

I hold you tightly within my heart,

And there you will remain,

Life has gone on without you,

But it never will be the same.

For those who still have their children,

Treat them with tender care,

I pray you never know the emptiness,

As when you turn and they are not there
