A child once felt so small and lost
When death took away their parent's cost
No more bedtime stories, no more hugs
Just memories of the past, like fading rugs
A child's struggle with parental death
A heavy burden, a painful breath
No one to turn to, no one to hold
A shattered heart, so lonely and cold
The world seems darker, the sun less bright
A life now incomplete, a constant fight
To find a way to cope and heal
To hold on tight and truly feel
That love still lingers, even in death
That memories live on, with each breath
And though their parent may be gone
Their love still shines, like a golden dawn
So let the tears fall, let the pain be felt
For healing comes with time, and lessons dealt
A child's struggle with parental death
May be heavy, but love still remains, with every breath.
The moral of this poem is that although the death of a parent is a heavy burden for a child to bear, the love between them continues beyond death. It is okay to feel the pain of loss and to grieve, but with time and the healing power of love, a child can find the strength to carry on and cherish the memories of their parents.
