Help Me Explain
19 July, 2003
Author: Terrie*
no matter how hard...i try
that day still makes me cry
i try to leave it all behind
but that day is so fresh in my mind
the love of my life lay there so still
his damaged heart no Dr. could heal
a nightmare that drove me into my shell
my poor kids i could not begin to tell
how do you tell a child that their father has died?
i couldn't do it no matter how hard i tried.
keeping it from them was very sad &... hard,but for now i must
now.... in me their mother, their friend they lost their trust
they were told, for me they must be strong
i thought that was so cruel & very...wrong
they are children ,let them be
it isn't them.... that ,must comfort me
it should be the other way around.
i was trying to spare them any pain
Dear God please help me explain
i cannot accept it ......don't know where to start
i can not break those 2 precious little hearts
