"We Need Not Walk Alone"

The Compassionate Friends

I can speak my child's name here

Acknowledge his life - tell of his death

Without fear

That no one will listen

Few others listen from their heart.

Their eyes glaze; they run or put up walls

From the start -

As protection from my pain

Not here - bonded by child loss - no blame

Instant acceptance - I'm so glad that

I came -

I can speak my child's name
