Remembering Our Son - by Mariane Holbrook

We'll only remember the good things
Like the day when our baby was born.
How he filled all our lives with such pleasure,
Never knowing that now we would mourn.

We'll only remember the good days,
Like the day when he ran to our arms
And he flashed his big smile so endearing
And displayed his unique baby charms.

We'll only remember the good things
Like the presents he wrapped with his love
And presented his heart to his parents
Like a gift straight from heaven above.

We'll only remember the fun times
When our family would gather as one,
And our laughter would fill all our household
At the antics of him, our dear Son.

So today though we mourn at his passing
And we wipe sorrow's tears from our eyes,
We'll remember this Son whom God gave us
And brought so much joy to our lives.

I am wearing a pair of shoes.

They are ugly shoes. Uncomfortable shoes.

I hate my shoes.

Each day I wear them,
and each day I wish
I had another pair.

Some days my shoes
hurt so bad that
I do not think
I can take
another step.

Yet,
I continue to wear them.

I get funny looks
wearing these shoes.

They are looks of sympathy.
I can tell in others eyes that they are glad
they are my shoes
and not theirs.

They never talk
about my shoes.

To learn how awful
my shoes are might
make them uncomfortable.

To truly understand these shoes
you must walk in them.

But,
once you put them on,
you can never take them off.

I now realize that
I am not the only one
who wears these shoes.
There are many pairs
in this world.

Some PEOPLE
are like me
and ache daily
as they try
and walk in them.

Some have learned
how to walk in them
so they don't hurt
quite as much.

Some have worn the shoes
so long that days
will go by before
they think about
how much they hurt.

No PERSON deserves
to wear these shoes.

Yet,
because of these shoes
I am a stronger PERSON.
These shoes have given
me the strength
to face anything.

They have made me
who I am.

I will forever walk
in the shoes of
a PARENT who has lost a child
