Subject: A DEAD END
As I sat with my son today
he asked me in his own way
questions about life and death
my poor little boy is only six
many might not think much of this
but in our house it happened
life and death
where was his sister
where is Jess?
Mommy you were a baby
then you growed up
and growed up and
growed up
Yes sweetie, Mommy
grew up and then I had you
Daddy was a baby
then he growed up
and growed up and
growed up
Yes honey, Daddy
grew up and then we had you
Jessie was a baby
then she growed up…
No son,
Jessie didn’t get to grow up
she got to be 7 and
now she’s in Heaven
Mommy, I was a baby
and now I am growed up
and will I still grow up
and up, and up
Yes son, you will grow up
and then you will be a man
with a very kind heart
and a compassionate hand
I looked at him
I fought back tears
I held him and said
Do you know how much I love you son?
Yes I do, I love you too Mom
This is what he meant
in our session today
the one thing that stuck
in my mind all day
I said they were my lifeline
my sweet little boys
No, he said, you’ve got that wrong
you are their lifeline
you are their Mom
Thinking about her…
will never end
and wishing leads to pain
again and again
I have to stop doing this
again and again
it leads to nothing
it’s just a dead end…
This is really beautiful. What a wonderful mom you are.
