Bittersweet

I'm sorry if you shy from me fearing what you might say wrong

I apologize if it bothers you but I am a Mother to a child that's gone

I don't know what to say if you feel like you can't share your excitement with me

I'm saddened and dismayed but this bittersweet grief is something that's here to stay

I wish you all the happiness in your journey and on your way

I hope you'll think of how blessed you are next time you start to complain today

Your back hurts, your feet swell, you have a headache that hurts like hell but can't you see?

You are living the dream that I had to say goodbye to just short of 17 weeks

So please enjoy it as if you were me as I watch from a distance and grieve

It's bittersweet...
