Poetry Corner: Lauren A. Wilson “Makayla”

May 5, 2017 by Editor Leave a Comment

As I sit and watch scarcely at the pain that your in. I am praying it
is soon the worst will come to an end.

Seeing you cry at every poke, touch, each turn, and Prod, I’m feeling
as your protector I have failed at my job.

I want to hold you forever, and trade places with your pain.
While your constantly being bothered With the sharp sounds from your monitor,
I wish I could just whisk you away; fast forward far ahead, to much
better times, to a healthy and safe place.

God has a special plan for you, you will see, I am sure. That there
are reasons for all of this dismay you have had to endure.

You, Are so strong, and have yet to even know it. While I sit here feeling so weak
but for you I must not show it.

I must continue to have faith since there is not much more That I can
do; but I will stay fighting by your side, until the end of this with
you.

I wish I could steal each one of your tears and toss them up in to the
sky. Where They would dissolve into stars for a greater lit chapter in
your life.

I need you to know I will remain by your side, speak as your voice and
stay close to you each night.

I will hold you in my heart, until I can hold you in my arms,
these times are not forever, we are in this together, my little one.

I will show you, life is really much greater, life will be much more fun.

Through these times of hurts,and aches, respirators, and operations we
must keep faith you will receive healing.

And any moment I am away I will continue to pray, that you can be
stronger tomorrow, If I can be strong for you today

I love you ,
<3 Mommy
