Is it anger?

 

when they were young,

I was angry, heartbroken,

and hopeful.

Confused as to my new role

and how my life had changed.

Slowly, I adjusted

was able to get thru the days and endless nights

not so angry anymore

able to look for the good

and enjoy parts of life

People always remarked at my smile-

How can you?

How could I not

My children are so special and precious,

each wonderful in anything they can do

Yes, they had many difficulties,

but there was hope.

Little did I know

How they would suffer

how much more heartache

we could bear.

Today my ANGER is back.

My Frustration & heartache are back with a vengeance

Every day I am greeted by my daughter’s cries

that I cannot make go away

She suffers and suffers

and my heart breaks

into little pieces

held together by the tape that binds her wounds

So fragile is my heart,

So fragile is my baby

Hope is almost gone for her

I cannot stop the tears

that I used to quell with such ease

I try to smile,

but it gets harder every day

All I have are her kisses

and I grasp for them

as I fall apart
