Someone else’s sorrow
Weighs heavy on my heart
Another mother’s tragedy
Is my cautionary tale
We are all mothers together
Who cry for another mom’s child
& pray for those lost
children
Whose families still wait to exhale
God bless the mothers whose children
Still have another chance
A close call averted
A lesson learned in time
But a breath and then another
For the grieving mother
A grief we can’t imagine
Until we step across that line
Then missing socks and slamming doors
Will fade to what took place
before
So I refuse to let them play
A starring role in my today.
