We Remember

Don't Tell Me

(by "Judi Walker")

Please don’t tell me you know how I feel,
Unless you have lost your child too,

Please don’t tell me my broken heart will heal,
Because that is just not true,

Please don’t tell me my son is in a better place,
Though it is true, I want him here with me,

Don’t tell me someday I’ll hear his voice, see his face,
Beyond today I cannot see,

Don’t tell me it is time to move on,
Because I cannot,

Don’t tell me to face the fact he is gone,
Because denial is something I can’t stop,

Don’t tell me to be thankful for the time I had,
Because I wanted more,

Don’t tell me when I am my old self you will be glad,
I’ll never be as I was before,

What you can tell me is you will be here for me,
That you will listen when I talk of my child,

You can share with me my precious memories,
You can even cry with me for a while,

And please don’t hesitate to say his name,
Because it is something I long to hear everyday,

Friend please realize that I can never be the same,
But if you stand by me, you may like the new person I become someday.
