Please Say His Name |
By Debbie Derosier, June 2000 |
Do you really think that I'm okay?
Though my son has gone away? Do you think because I smile I have forgotten for a while? I have to tell you that you are wrong. He's on my mind all day long. Though I may not let it show He's always on my mind you know. Why do you turn when I speak his name? Do you not know it causes more pain? Can you comprehend how I feel? My son was here...he was real. I miss my child, but I must hide The terrible pain I feel inside. The lump in my throat it hurts so bad because I can't cry although I'm sad. I can barely speak his name For fear that it might cause you pain. I miss my Josh...I miss him so. I just thought that you should know. Even though I laugh and play... I didn't forget my son today. Please say his name now and then. Please...say "Josh" again. |
