I fell
on my daughters 17 birthday
all I could think was no way
no way.
not today.
~
I am trying not get on the pot
i really am trying.
or I don’t know
maybe I’m not.
~
My daughter had to take care of me
on her birthday.
and I just want to say.
it sucks.
~
Its just her and me
again you see
she’s been up
for over 24 hours
yup.
taking care of me.
~
again.
~
So I am looking around
for a shining light
knowing its gotta come from within
but i think that maybe
its gone aground.
I’m too tired
I’m growing thin.
~
maybe its the pain talking
I just don’t know
but I AM the one who should
care for her
taking care of me
how can she grow?
I just don’t know.
I just don’t know..
I just don’t know….

Very moving, content and tone both, Take care!
There are times when pain,
Doesn’t ask, just barges in,
But I’ve learned to gain,
By facing it with a grin,
You see, pain is not a stranger,
To me or to my daughter,
We both know the biggest danger,
Is just waiting for the slaughter,
Ah, but the knowledge of a disease,
Lets your mind have some ease,
Each of us at times needs to lean,
And gather strength from each other,
My daughter is determined to glean,
Information that will always help others.
Luna, check out her websites. The first one, gentlehugscafe and the second one, sarahketurah both dot coms
Let yourself be taken care of, without “what should be”…The light that comes from within? Not always that easy to find..but it is there..
I so share this with you, my friend!
This is devastatingly sad and helpless- great poem, but so sad. Sending you best wishes.
We never know if we are doing right by them. I believe we pick our parents before we are born. She picked you to be one of hers so it is as it should be.
My oldest is 35. Believe me They grow.
my son is 18,
they know things better.
enjoy the precious moments with your girl.
keep inspiring.
😉
Luna, tossing you a simple wish of wellness, catch…
Awwwww I’m sorry you feel and hurt yourself, are you ok? Don’t be worrying about your daughter having to take care of you for a few days. She loves you. (((hugs))) Hope you feel better soon.
