Please don't judge a mother
As she struggles with her grief
Time is NO great healer
Whatever you believe
Please don't judge a mother
As the tears fall from her eyes
You have your child here
But to hers, she said goodbye
Please don't judge a mother
When she feels the need to say
How much she loved her child
Each and every day
Please don't judge a mother
If she feels the need to talk
She'll never get to hold her child
Nor see her child walk
Please don't judge a mother
If she feels she cannot smile
The guilt if she feels happy
Lingers for a while
Please don't judge a mother
If she feels she cannot spend
A minute with your child
You see her pain it never ends
Please don't judge a mother
When she needs to be alone
She needs to wallow in her grief
In the privacy of her home
Please don't judge a mother
When she feels she can't join in
Pain is all she feels
Having fun feels like a sin
Please don't judge a mother
For anything at all
Just listen to her, hold her
And let her tears fall
