Don't tell me that you know
Don't tell me that I will survive,
Or that I will surely grow,
Don't tell me that this is a test,
Or that I am surely blessed,
That I am chosen for this task,
Apart from all the rest,
Don't come at me with answers,
They can only come from me,
Don't tell me how my grief will pass,
That I will soon be free,
Don't stand in pious judgement,
Of the bounds I must untie,
Don't tell me how to suffer,
And don't tell me how to cry,
My life is filled with selfishness,
My pain is all I see,
But I need you now,
I need your love unconditionally,
Accept me in my ups and downs,
I need someone to share,
Just hold my hand and let me cry,
And say, "MY FRIEND, I CARE"

I'll never be over it,
Please don't tell me he's in a better place,
He isn't here with me,
Please don't say, at least he isn't suffering,
i never came to terms with why he had to suffer at all,
Please don't tell me, you know how I feel,
Unless you have lost a child as well,
Please don't ask me if I feel better,
Bereavement isn't a condition that clears up,
Please don't tell me, at least you had him for so many years,
What year would you choose for your child to die ?
Please don't tell me that God never gives us more than we can bear,
Please just say you are sorry,
Please just say that you remember my child, and if you do then,
Please just let me talk about my child,
Please just mention my childs name,
Please just let me cry !!

You never said goodbye,
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knows why,
A million times I've needed you,
A million times I've cried,
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died,
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still,
In our hearts you hold a place,
No one else will ever fill,
It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn't go alone,
Part of me went with you,
The day God took you home.

Rainbows appear only on dreary, rainy days,
They beautify the world for a few brief moments.
These moments however, can be spectacular.
" You Are My Rainbow"
You entered my life, and stayed but a short while,
Nonetheless, the memories of those moments
When you blessed us with
Laughter and delight...
Joys and smiles...
Charm and beauty...
Gaity and silliness...
Giggles and love..
You made the deluge, the tears of pain and anger,
Helplessness and fear...
Sadness and heartbreak...
Emptiness and lonliness...
Much more bearable
Rainbows, however brief, make the world
a brighter, lovlier place...
How grateful I am that I had you...
My special rainbow child...
