This was a life
That had barely begun
No time to find
Your place in the sun
No time to do
All you could have done
But we loved you enough for a lifetime.

No time to enjoy
The world and its wealth
No time to take life
Down off of the shelf
No time to sing
The song of yourself
Though you had enough love for a lifetime.

Those who live long
Endure sadness and tears
But you will never suffer
The sorrowing years;
No betrayal, no anger,
No hatred, no fears,

Just love - only love - in your lifetime.
~ Mary Yarnell

When a husband or wife die - the survivor is called a widow or widower. When a child loses their parents - they are called an orphan. When a parent loses a child - there is no word for it - that is how tragic it is. ~ Yiddish saying

I have a son, a little son,
A boy completely fine.
Whenever I see him, it seems to me
That all the world is mine.
~ Yiddish Song
