A Father's Grief
Eileen Knight Hagemeister
It must be very difficult
To be a man in grief,
Since "men don't cry"
and "men are strong".
No tears can bring relief.
It must be very difficult
To stand up to the test
And field the calls and visitors
So she can get some rest.
They always ask if she's all right
And what she's going through.
But seldom take his hand and ask,
"My friend, but how are you?"
He hears her crying in the night
And thinks his heart will break.
He dries her tears and comforts her,
But "stays strong" for her sake .
It must be very difficult
To start each day a new .
And try to be so very brave-
He lost his baby too.

David, everyday you're so strong for me. I want you to know its okay to cry... with or without me. I'm always going to see you as my superman, even if you're sad. I love you so much.
Daniel loves you so much.
