Can You Feel For Me?
Can you feel for me? It was my daughter and her child
Torn away from my heart by a man whose passions went wild.
Does he care that I will never see them anymore?
He just ignored their cries when they hit the floor.
You can not imagine the painful thoughts that leaped through my mind
When I realized that bloodstained kin was all I would find.
How could someone so very unstable
Have once been a soul seated at G-d's table?
G-d, one thing I must ask:
Please punish the evildoer and take him to task.
G-d give me strength so I will quit looking for the reason
That my Mary and my Troy are not alive to see another season.

Dear Jeffrey,
It has been a long time since you posted this and none of us have been able to respond. I am so very sorry, what can be said in the face of that unimaginable horror?
I sincerely hope you are not going through this alone, do you have support? Friends? Family? Professional?
We may be strangers as yet but we care. No-one can possibly understand, we can only pray for you,
cheers,
Jess
