About me

A Mother's Grief
by
Kelly Cummings

You ask me how I'm feeling,
but do you really want to know?
The moment I try telling you
You say you have to go

You ask me how I'm holding up,
but do you really care?
The second I try to speak my heart,
You start squirming in your chair.

Because I am so lonely,
you see, no one comes around,
I'll take the words I want to say
And quietly choke them down.

Everyone avoids me now,
Because they don't know what to say
They tell me I'll be there for you,
then turn and walk away.

Call me if you need me,
that's what everybody said,
But how can I call you and scream
into the phone,
My God, my child is dead?

I am tired of pretending
as my heart pounds in my chest,
I say things to make you comfortable,
but my soul finds no rest.

How can I tell you things
that are too sad to be told,
of the helplessness of holding a child
who in your arms grows cold?

Maybe you can tell me,
How should one behave,
who's had to follow their childs casket,
watched it perched above a grave?

You cannot imagine
what it was like for me that day
to place a final kiss upon that box,
and have to turn and walk away.

If you really love me,
and I believe you do,
if you really want to help me,
here is what I need from you.

Sit down beside me,
reach out and take my hand,
Say "My friend, I've come to listen,
I want to understand."

Just hold my hand and listen
that's all you need to do,
And if by chance I shed a tear,
it's alright if you do to.

God makes little children
He makes them every day
And though He loves them dearly
He gives them all away.

He gives each to an angel
And says take baby down
To such and such a mother
In such and such a town.

Or such and such a cottage
In such and such a place.
He gives the angel with it
A big soul full of grace.

God does so love those children
It's all that He can do
To let the Angel take them
But he loves the mother's too.

And so he says I'll lend you
This little one of mine
The angel folds it's love
About the special gift divine.

The angel watches over
The child both day and night
So glad to see that lovely soul
All shining in God's light

God makes so many children
And every now and then
He seems to want one specially
We don't know why or when

He whispers to its Angel
Bring the child back to me
The angel sees a lovely sight
That someday we may see

It sees the souls of mothers
And fathers in God's light
Offering him tiny children
Whose souls are shining bright

God does so love those children
Whos souls are never dim
And how he loves those parents
Who give them back to him.

Jennifer,
Hadn't talked to you in awhile. I was just wondering how you were doing. Fine, I hope. I hope things are going better for you, now.

For You Friend

Every evening
as I'm laying here in bed
This little prayer keeps running
through my mortal head


God bless my mom and dad
and bless my little child
and take care of my spouse
when things start getting wild...


and God there's one more thing
I wish that you could do
hope ya don't mind me askin
but 'please' bless my 'puter too??


Now I know that it's not normal
to bless a mother board
but listen just a second
while I explain to you,"MY LORD"


you see, that little metal box
holds more than odds and ends
inside those small components
rest a hundred of my 'BEST FRIENDS'


Some it's true I've never seen
and most I've never met
we've never shaken hands
or shared a meal as yet...


I know for sure they like me
by the kindness that they give
and this little scrap of metal
is how i travel to where they live


by faith is how I know them
much the same as I know You
I share in what life brings them
from that our friendship grew


"PLEASE" take an extra minute
from your duties up above
to bless this hunk of metal
that's filled with so much love.

love nicola xxxx

If u love me as a friend you'll read the whole thing.
What would you do if for every moment you were truly happy there would be 10 moments of sadness?
What would you do if you’re best friend died tomorrow and you never got to tell them how you felt?
So, I just wanted to say, even if I never talk to you again in my life, you are special to me and you have made a difference in my life.
I look up to you, respect you, and truly cherish you.
Send this to all your friends, no matter how often you talk, or how close you are, and send it to the person who sent it to you.
Let old friends know you haven't forgotten them, and tell new friends you never will.
Remember, everyone needs a friend. Don’t ever leave the one u love for the one u like, because the one u like will leave u for the one they love.

If you wake up in a red room with no windows and doors, DON'T panic. You’re just in my heart!!!
Send this to all the friends you want to keep forever...

Just Sending You..............

I'm so sorry that Caitlyn had to go so soon. She was absolutely gorgeous and looked so peaceful. I'm sure she is looking down on you and your family and is with you with every step you take. I have added her to my Garden so I can drop in regularly and light a candle.
Take care Jennifer xxx Mary
