in memory of their son, Douglas.
 
OUR CHILDREN
by Peggie Bouse
 
I sit here by this paper
As the tears absorb and soak.
My mind and thoughts just wander
To the day your hearts broke.
 
I know that it's not easy
To pick up and start again.
I know that it takes time
Because I also share your pain.
 
A pain that tends to linger,
A pain that tends to last,
A pain that feels destructive,
And never feels will pass.
 
Please know that I am with you,
In spirit and in mind.
And when your pain is unbearable,
Turn, look, I'm right behind....
 
Our children are our treasure.
Our children are our gold.
Think of them in heaven,
Under our Lord's protective hold.
