Have you ever heard a parent cry

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD A PARENT CRY

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD A PARENT CRY
AT THE SIGHT OF THEIR NEW BORN BABE
SO FILLED WITH EMOTION AT WHAT THEIR
LOVE HAS MADE?

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THEM CRY WHEN THEIR
BABE TAKES IT'S FIRST STEPS
SO TINY ON THEIR TOES THAT SIGHT WILL
TAKE AWAY YOUR BREATH?

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THEM CRY AS THEY TAKE
THEM TO LEAVE THEM ON THEIR VERY FIRST DAY OF
SCHOOL? STANDING OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM
WATCHING THEM WISHING YOU COULD TAKE THEM
BACK, TO THE TIME BEFORE THE RULES?

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THEM CRY AS THEY GET
TO THAT BIG GRADUATION DAY, ALL GROWN
UP READY TO TACKLE THE WORLD, READY TO MAKE
THEIR WAY IN THIS GREAT BIG WORLD?

I HAVE HEARD EVERY ONE OF THESE FOR
THE TEARS HAVE BEEN MY VERY OWN
BUT THE CRY YOU WILL HEAR AND NEVER FORGET
IS THE ONE WHEN YOUR CHILD IS TAKEN FROM YOU
IN BUT A MOMENT TAKEN TO OUR FATHER'S HOME

OUR HEARTS SCREAM "WHY GOD OH WHY" AS THE
SOUND COMES FROM DEEP INSIDE ESCAPING FROM
YOUR LIPS

"IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE THIS WAY" YOU
HEAR YOURSELF SAY, YOU CRY FOR HELP
FROM GOD, PLEASE PLEASE NOT MY BABY,
NOT THIS WAY.

OH YOU WILL BEG, OH HOW YOU WILL PLEAD
THAT KIND OF CRY WILL STAY WITH YOU
UNTIL THE DAY THAT GOD CLOSES YOUR EYES

ONE DAY THE CRIES ARE AS FAST AS THE OCEANS
WAVES CRASHING ON THE SHORES, BUT THEN ONE DAY
YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THEY'VE GOTTEN
SLOWER AND SLOWER.

THEN ONE DAY YOU WILL FEEL THE SUNSHINE
ON YOUR SKIN, THE WIND REALLY BLOWING IN
YOUR HAIR, BUT WAY DOWN DEEP INSIDE
THIS PARENTS CRY WILL COME AGAIN
OF THIS, YOU CAN BE SURE.

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD A PARENT CRY

Maggie, there are no words to express my feelings of sorrow and grief for the loss of your precious son Jason, So I will just sit here, and cry with you.

Hi Maggie, That was beautifully written and filled with so much truth about the feelings we go through with our children. I think of you often and pray that you can find some way to accept Jasons death and go on with your life... I'm sure there are others around you that would like to see a smile back on your face.. Big hugs, Bonnie
