Today
I woke up when she cried
Though I’d just fallen asleep
I got her out of bed
Gave her a hug
Sung her the song
The one I promised to sing everyday
The one that she will never hear her Nanna sing again
I changed her
Gave her a cup of milk
Turned on cartoons
We sat on the couch
She wanted to play
I just wanted to sleep
But I got up
We played
We danced to some upbeat music
I had to do something
The house was a mess
So I washed the dishes
They were all dirty
I ran the vacuum
I did some laundry
But I didn’t get dressed
Not today
I usually don’t
Unless I have to go somewhere
I hate going anywhere
But I have to work
I have to buy things
For my child
So she can eat
Grow
Be happy
And healthy
All this I do for her
She is all I have
And I am thankful
I would not be here if it wasn’t for her
So I will try to go on
To get through the tough times somehow
Go to therapy
Because there isn’t anyone else to help me
And I will try to hold it together
While she is around
And when she isn’t
Like at the moment
She is in bed
And I have crashed
But I will get through it
For her
She has saved me
So many times
And I am thankful
For
Today

That was beautiful...
I can't imagine.
She is lucky to have a mother who loves her so very much.
You hang in there.
You will get better.
One day you will do it for you.

Oh JLynn,
You've made me cry and my heart ache so wonderfully. You're little one is so very lucky to have you :-)
Whenever you're in doubt, come to this place and cry and scream and shout. You will find a band of angels will embrace you and help you find the strength to go on.
(((((JLynn))))))

Thanks for the encouragement. This is the first time I have tried to write...and I actually like it. My T's had suggested it, but never did any good. But now maybe I can continue to do it and take it to my sessions...this may be easier than saying how I feel. Again - thanks!

Please do.
That was a lovely and moving poem.
Please stay and babble with us over here :-)
Write some more whenever you want.
It can be theraputic.I only write poems sometimes.
Sometimes I can
Sometimes I can't.
But it is helpful for me to get it out that way sometimes.

The way you laid out your day for me, the feelings and the events, brought me back to the days when I was a single mother and my son was very very young ... and how I took so much comfort from him; his spirit nourished mine, and his warm fat softness, then his little emerging self, just made my life new when I needed it the most. Hugs from me to both of you, you're so lucky to have each other and this time together. Cherish it and keep writing ... please....
