How do they?

How do they carry on, those parents left behind,
When a piece of their heart has been torn from inside?
In the silence of night, in the echoes of day,
How do they learn to live when their child slips away?

Each dawn brings a weight, a sorrow...

Breathless In The Beauty

The sun is shining, skies are clear,
but without you, I feel the fear.
The beauty takes my breath away,
reminding me you’re gone today.

but in my heart, an endless night.
On this sweet day, I miss...

I’m sorry unfortunately this is very much real. I wrote this the day my daughter passed away. There was a storm raging uncontrollably outside that night, so that’s where tempest came into play. That whole day I could barely catch my breath as if a stone of a thousand pounds lay
upon my chest. So yes was a real love in the moment event and that was the only way I could cast my feelings on that fateful day.

I replied earlier but my comment doesn’t show.
