A Mom’s Realization

Today I sat silently as my son
    My 2nd born
 Told the doctor how many times
     He had thoughts of suicide.
Tears ran down my cheeks
     How did I not know?
I tried to be the best mom I could
     But that wasn’t enough?
And then I realized as I listened
     That this wasn’t about me
It’s about him...and those are the words
     That I need to hear in the silence.
