ZACH

Let me take away your heartache,
Let me bear your unbound pain.
For I don't want you going through,
All that suffering again.

On the worst day of my life thus far,
We were standing side by side.
When we took our boy to hospital,
From Meningitis, there he died.

The pain I felt in my grieving heart,
I have never felt before.
I know those doctors tried to help,
And they could have done no more.

On the morning of Zach's funeral,
With a tear in my eye.
It's the hardest thing I've ever done,
As I bade our Son goodbye.

To have your child die in your arms,
And there's nothing you can do.
Is the hardest test this world can give,
But his love will see us through.

So heavenly Father I ask of you,
Don't cast my Son aside.
For that young lad who we love so dear,
I now give to you with pride.

.to see one's own child die, your flesh and blood die....... is terrible for the parents. i understand your pain, your never ending pain........ but you have to live here on earth to do good to those who are in sorrow.. may be your The experience of intense sadness has a meaning that you begin now onwards think of the pain of others.. take it as a new vocation and a great call from God to serve those in sorrow.. thank u for this great poem full of emotion.. tony
