GRIEF TAKES THE CENTER STAGE

It is so hard with the loss of a child

No matter what their age

Your heart becomes shattered

Your reasoning becomes unstable

 

Grief has taken center stage

 

Our children are part of us

When they die...

A part of us also dies

 

Grief has taken center stage

 

The world keeps right on turning

Life seems to go on....

In life's race we have fallen behind

We struggle to carry on

 

Grief has taken center stage

 

We get angry.....

Sometimes not realizing it

We search for understanding

And looking for any kind of support

 

Grief has taken center stage

 

One day we will conquer this battle of grief

To once again we'll be in control

Though grief will always be with us...

 

We will take center stage
