Chronic Pain
No one believes me
They say it’s in my head
But half of the time
I can not even get out of bed.
Then the day came
A new specialist
Let’s see if today
I can make a fist.
They said they believe me
But let’s just wait and see
Let’s find out if they can help me
Become pain free.
Medication once again
Will this ever end
I dream of living pain free
Just like my best friend.
Pains in my legs
Pains in my chest
I just wish my body
Could be the best.
Another flare up
Agony and torment
But what you see
Is someone who’s content.
Lots of pain
Assistance dog training
I never thought
They would tell me Belle was failing.
By my side Belle stayed
Ensuring she could help me again
Cuddles and kisses she gave me each day
But in bed I remained.
The day Covid hit
Our spirits were wild
As we had just found out
We were expecting our first child.
As time went by
We remained over joyed
As we found out
We were having a boy.
The pain remained
But I smiled
I couldn’t contain the excitement
For our first child.
28 weeks Pregnant came fast
The doctor sent me for a scan
I never knew it would be my last
That’s when the pain really began.
I’m sorry miss
Your son is deceased
Those are the worst words
To say the least.
Tears and pain
Flooded over me
Why oh why
How could this be.
Hours past
Then it was time
To deliver our boy
Who was all mine.
Bottom first he came into the world
That hope inside us for a cry
My oh my how our faces turned
Please tell us he did not die.
