Grief Stills The Time

It seems as only days have passed
Since I felt your movements last
I still can feel your hand in mine
Why does it seem grief stills the time

I’m sure it was just yesterday
That death came to steal life away
How can it be it’s been five years
And life goes on despite my tears

My arms still ache beneath the weight
Of tiny body held too late
My ears still hear your phantom cries
Though your heart stopped, it’s mine that dies

Will ever infants at the mall
Not cause me pain or to recall
Your perfect face, your ivory skin
Or bring the tears I hold within

Will the passing of the years
Mend my heart or dull my fears
I curse those who’ve learned not to feel
They say with time, all grief will heal

An ache that never leaves, a memory you dont want to lose, in a desire you find difficult to live with

I can feel the ache in your words even though I have never suffered it

Take care

A powerfully aching piece.
There just aren't words to express

Hi Hoot,

it does, in a way, stop time. Freezes moments in our memories. You've penned these bittersweet moments well. A brave write.

I wish I didn't understand this so well, wish you didn't either.

I don't think time ever heals the pain over loosing a child.
Only a year ago at the age of 92, my mother asked me if I thought it strange that she, by times, still grieves over her lost baby who was born dead now 55 year ago.
And I told her no, I don't think it's strange, this baby has grown in you and will always be part of you.

Wish I could hug you for a moment.

Such a beautiful expression of pain that never leaves... only lessens enough to let your heart keep beating.

Knowing you? I know how many you touch...
and that in and of itself, is such
a blessing.
