MY CHILD DID EXIST

Author Unknown

I’ve lost a child,

I hear myself say,

And the person

I’m talking to just turns away.

Now why did I tell them,

I don’t understand.

It wasn’t for sympathy or

to get a helping hand.

I just want them to know

I’ve lost something dear,

I want them to know my child was here.

My child left something behind

which no one can see,

So, if I’ve upset you,

I’m sorry as can be.

You’ll have to forgive me,

I could not resist.

I just want you to know that

my child did exist.
