I Know You Care - A Poem About Early Grief

I tried to stop but I just cried My beautiful boy died I was so torn up inside Kind people wanted to be by my side I told them to leave My request was denied They asked too many questions They had too many suggestions I looked at the people and replied My beautiful boy died I wanted to shut the door and go inside Even good friends overwhelmed me I let out a big sigh Once again I started to cry Somehow the words came out I am begging you Please leave I am in such pain I cannot even explain You will not understand my pain Please, please, please go away Too many questions Too many suggestions Just leave I need to cry Why why did my beautiful boy die I know you care You loved him too I know you hurt I am a Mother with a broken heart My world has fallen apart You do not understand my pain Too many questions Too many suggestions I went inside and cried My Clarke had died

Yours in hope,

Denise
