I bet you thought I’d catch you

Like so many times before
And I tried
I really did

But you kept falling
And falling
And falling
So many times...so many ways

I begged you, pleaded...please
Please stop!

But, it called and once again you answered…
looking at me through glazed eyes,
sweat and blood
I pray, when she gets older...she forgets seeing you like that

I can’t believe you’d forsake us so easily...



You missed the first day of school today.
She was so brave
As she entered the door and looked back at me all I could see...
was you

She needed you there…and tonight,
she asked if she could-
go sleep with mommy....... “under the ground”

Just like so many times before
I am left to clean up your mess

I’m trying, love
I really am

God, I hate the flavor of
her tears

Actually, Kace, there's a topic for ya, a 5-8 year old child's view of death. The confusion with all the phrases used that are easily misunderstood and the foreign concept. How the child's understanding progresses is up to you.
