~PAIN AND GRIEVING~

Written by Diane Craddock ~ August 26, 2005
In loving memory of my children:
JJ & Michele Wade

When you hear me laugh one moment in time,
Do you think...Oh great! she seems just fine.

The smiles you see, don't reach my eyes....
Nor do you hear my anguished cries.

My heart is breaking, can't you see....
Without my sweet child here with me.

My heart and soul have taken a bit hit...
Yet some loved ones tell me, " get over it."

Each new day is an emotional strain...
I pray none of them experinece this pain.

Only another parent that is grieving too,
Can understand what I am going thru.

My precious child has died...that is true,
But why must I hide this pain from you?
