[tri-wings] Poem

This is a poem someone gave me today. I think Mandy may have posted it before, 
but since Julie's angel day is fast approaching, I thought I'd post it again 
for anyone who may not have read it before....
 
Please
( by Rita Moran)
 
 
PLEASE, don't ask me if I'm over it yet.
I'll never be over it.
 
PLEASE, don't tell me she's in a better place.
She isn't here with me.
 
PLEASE, don't say she isn't suffering.
I haven't come to grips with why she had to suffer at all.
 
PLEASE, don't tell me you know how I feel,
Unless you have lost a child.
 
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 her for so many years.
What year would you choose for your child to die?
 
PLEASE, don't tell me God never gives us more than we can bear.
 
PLEASE, just say you are sorry.
PLEASE, just say you remember my child, if you do.
PLEASE, just let me talk about  my child.
PLEASE, mention my childs name.
 
 
 
I thought this was a great poem. It really sums up how I feel. I would love to 
send copies to my husbands family, but I know it would be totally lost on them. 
I'm sure that Julie's angel day will go totally unnoticed by my in laws again 
this year. You would think that after 4 years I would be used to them ignoring 
it, but I'm not. It only makes me dislike them more!!! Oh well, enough 
complaining...I'll go back into lurkmode again...
 
Take care,
Linda - mom to Megan(6), ^i^ Julie (t13), Alyssa(2)
