    Loss
    There is no greater pain
    Then the loss of a child
    Life is so confusing
    As emotions run wild
    So gentle and sweet they look
    As they permentaly sleep
    Tears roll down our face
    As we openly weep
    The last time we kiss them
    As we say goodbye
    We say we will allways miss them
    As we still cry
    Goodbye sweet child
    We will miss you with great pain
    Tears crashing down
    Falling like rain
    The family rallies around
    Telling us it will be OK
    Truth is it will never be
    Since you have gone away
    Devasted we watch
    As they lower you in to the ground
    Life for a moment stops to exist
    Knowing you will no longer be around

    D.B. Johnson

    I have lost two daughters of my own. One when she was 7 and my other almost 4 months ago. Your poem reached out to me. No it never is okay but I do promise it does get a little easier. May GOD bless you.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
