GRANDMOTHER, SHARON 26th January 2008

PLEASE UNDERSTAND.......... Please don't tell me you know how I feel Unless you have lost a grandchild too Don't tell me my broken heart will heal Because that is not true Don't tell me he's in a better place That may be true, but I want him here with me Don't tell me it's time to move on Because I cannot Don't tell me to face the fact that he is gone Denial is something I can't stop Don't tell me to be thankful for the time I had I wanted more time... Don't tell me when I am my old self again you will be glad I'll never be the same person I was before he died What you can tell me is: You will be there for me That you will listen when I talk about my grandson You can share with me precious memories You can even cry with me sometimes Just realize that I may never be the same again, Stand by me, you may like the person I may become
