There is a Reason for This

by Maple Tree   Jul 31, 2018


Crayons mixed with cloud formations
dance upon a ceiling of chipped paint
and other scary things; past midnight.

I have never wanted anything more
than I have been granted, yet I ask
for her life to be spared.

These thoughts of mine lay dormant
within cracks of this old house,
the color within my heart is enough
to make rainbows for the entire world,
why is it not enough?

"There is a reason for this"

I hear that line often,
it makes me angry, becoming
a person I am not.

No- this is life
where the magical
fall victim to disease
and other tragic things.

I have enough love to save the world
but it's not good enough to save her
beautiful soul.

    It is so very hard to watch this child you brought into this world and love with all your heart suffering. You wonder why your love isn't enough. Please dont beat yourself up. Life sometimes happens and it's so far out of our control and so unfair and it sucks. Baby bird knows your love for her. This is what gets her through each day. We all here love you, I hope in some small way this helps get you through your day. Hugs-

    Andrea, as strong as you are, the world goes in ways we cannot control. Love now with all that giant heart of yours. If you must wind up grieving let it be when all hope is gone.

    Dear Andrea nothing can ease your pain and yes you have enough love to save the world but as a mother you feel like you don't have enough to save your child. God knows your heart, he feels your pain and hears your cries. It may not be very comforting and I was told things happen for a reason. Whatever the reason may be you are strong and you are not alone. I do believe in miracles they happen all the time. We love you and we are here. Hugs to you

    Hey miss Maple.

    I know things are really really tough but you have to remain tough for your little bird.

    Stay strong my dear
