The winds of loss

I came across this in some of my older writings today. As I sat and read it I recalled the day I wrote it and the feelings I felt. So now I am sending it out into the world on the wind hoping maybe it will touch the life of someone new..

The worst feeling

There's never worse a feeling
Then when looking into a child's eyes
There face gone white, and lips gone silent
As their to afraid to cry

There's an unsteady and eerie feeling
When the toys are put away
When no mud tracks are on the carpet
And the child has nothing to say

There's a deathly rim of silence
When the child sits alone
When there's no warmth in his finger
And no expressions are freely shown

There's no way for you to comfort them
When they hear a loved one is gone
As they find out death and reality
Is not just a mournful song

A lump is brought upon your throat
When you don't know what to say
Watching as they slowly kneel down
And you quietly hear them say

"God if your up there
Please look this way and listen to me
There's no one else that I can go to
That can calm away this agony"
