Dawn Carbine McIntosh Please don’t tell me you know how I feel Unless you have lost your child too Please don’t tell me my broken heart will heal Because that is just not true Please don’t tell me my son is in a better place Though it is true, I want him here with me Don’t tell me someday Ill hear his voice, see his face Beyond today I cannot see Don’t tell me it is time to move on Because I cannot Don’t tell me to face the fact that he is gone Because denial is something I cannot stop Don’t tell me to be thankful for the time I had Because I wanted more Don’t tell me when I am my old self you will be glad I’ll never be as I was before What you can tell me is you will be here for me That you will listen when I talk of my child You can share with me my precious memories You can even cry with me for a while Please don’t hesitate to say his name Because it’s something I will long to hear everyday Without Ashley in my life I will never be the same Just stand by me….. Rest in Peace my Ashley All my love Mum (Mother Dawn) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
