They say there is no greater pain ~
No loss that can compare…
the torment when you lose a child -
no human heart can bear.

No one can just imagine…
No one can comprehend ~
Unless they lose their own child
And, then… They’ll understand.

You’ll never really breathe as strong ~
Your heart will bear a scar…
No words can speak the sorrow,
And it changes ‘who’ you are.

I know my life has meaning ~
I try to live each day,
I start my morning with your love…
and then, … begin to pray.

For all of you who’ve lost a child,
please know I feel your pain ~
and when we see our children;
We’ll be ourselves ‘again’.
