Wednesday's Woe - From Deep Joy to... Deepest Grief, in Seconds

Wednesday's Woe

From Deep Joy to... Deepest Grief, in Seconds

Relief was felt today as I was able to help my child

When I found the problem he had had, could be reconciled!

Great joy flooded down with such relief,

But then immediately to follow, an immense flood of grief...

Before I knew it the tears rained down;

In sadness over you, I began to drown...

The intensity of relief had triggered my tears...

Tears that then flashed me back to you across the years,

For, then, too, I was trying to help you...

But the end results exposed such a glaring discrepancy:

A helpful solution for him, but for you... the deepest tragedy.

For him today, I experienced a major break-through...

But for you that day, out of the raging Tahoe, your precious body broke through...

Such are the days of the child-loss mother:

Deep joy for one child can trigger deepest grief for another...
