Something I wrote

1 minute read time.

 Just something I wrote, I'm sure any English teacher would tear it apart as a 'poem'.

 

WHY is this thing in my daughters head? 

Was it something I did?  Or, something I said? 

Did I feed her right?  Did I treat her wrong? 

Has it really been there all along? 

 

For 14 years I have watched how she’s grown 

I didn’t spot it, should I have known? 

Such a happy child and full of life 

She should never have had to go under the knife!! 

 

How can I make it go away?  

I’ll take it, I’LL TAKE IT 

Don’t make her pay,  

Don’t let this thing take away her life 

Let her grow old, let her be someone’s wife 

 

If only I could find a cure, 

No more worry of death’s door 

If only they would find a cure……….

    dear nerak - no teacher would pull your poem apart its truly from your heart - my darling son was 21 when first diagnosed with hodgkins lymphoma - lucky for us all his treatment worked well and he fully recovered

    and his dream came true 5 years ago when he became a daddy of a gorgeous little boy (he had it in his head that he would be infirtile after chemo)

    unfortunately last year he was diagnosed with testicular cancer not related -just his blooming bad luck) he was 31 - as you can imagine he is dreading being 41 !!!! i totally agree with your poem - i have prayed and prayed that "it" comes to me and leaves my baby (age never stops them being our babies does it?)alone ........let him enjoy his family as i enjoyed my little ones growing up

    as a mum - my thoughts and prayers are always with the other mums here in macland

    much love as always xNx

    I can totally relate to your poem, made me cry, Rach was 13 when diagnosed, know exactly how you feel. We feel guilty as parents and want to protect them and feel helpless when we can't. We've done nothing wrong!xxxxx

    Any Mum knows where you're coming from with that poem - and who cares what English teachers think if it's a cry from the heart. Good luck to you and your daughter, Val X
