I found the following poems at www.balloonrelease.com. I know we have talked about this in our support group and I thought these mothers said it perfectly!
Please Say His Name
Do you really think that I'm okay?
Though my son has gone away?
Do you think because I smile
I have forgotten for a while?
I have to tell you that you are wrong.
He's on my mind all day long.
Though I may not let it show
He's always on my mind you know.
Why do you turn when I speak his name?
Do you not know it causes more pain?
Can you comprehend how I feel?
My son was here...he was real.
I miss my child, but I must hide
The terrible pain I feel inside.
The lump in my throat it hurts so bad
because I can't cry although I'm sad.
I can barely speak his name
For fear that it might cause you pain.
I miss my Josh...I miss him so.
I just thought that you should know.
Even though I laugh and play...
I didn't forget my son today.
Please say his name now and then.
Please...say "Josh" again.

Don't Hide My Daughter
Don't hide my daughter
Behind that wall of silence
The comfortable one that
Makes your forget she ever was
For I will always hold her memory
In the sun and the stars, and my very breath
Just because she was only here a moment
Don't try to pretend that she never was
I don't...and I never will
A Mother's love resounds beyond the Earth
To the Heaven above as she pictures her tender child
In the arms of those who have gone before her
and will cradle my child in a loving embrace
and tell her all about a loving family on Earth
Who wishes she could be with them so much
and tries desperately to understand why she isn't
Don't hide my daughter's name behind your silence
Though you may never speak her name
It resonates through my very soul
Lighting the candle in my heart
That will forever burn in honor of my littlest Angel.
