There is love in my sorrow

There is love in my sorrow, there is love in my tears.
Give me the courage and strength, through the coming years
To hold on to yesterday's memories, so all may know
The love in my heart and the love from my soul.

Sometimes I want to cry but if I shed a tear
For that precious child no longer near
Just know that I need a little time
To fight back the tears....and I'll be fine.

Oh, I want the rainbows but I don't want the storms,
I want the roses but I don't want the thorns.
Oh, sometimes I want to be weak and lean on you
To find comfort and strength in all I say and do.

Lord, sometimes I want to cry but if I shed a tear
For that precious child no longer near
Just know that I need a little time
To fight back the tears.....and I'll be fine.

When I get to heaven and I see my little one,
Standing before Jesus, God's only son,
I'll have no need for tears or memories.....
For we will be together for eternity.
Just to think of that sweet day.....
Sometimes I want to cry

This poem written by a friend who worked at Hospice.
She lost her 12 year old son to leukemia 4 years ago.
I want to share it with you.
