In Spite Of

In spite of my pain
In spite of my heart ache
In spite of my tears
In spite of my fears
In spite of the unknown 
of this crazy world we live in.

I love you

In spite of the sleepless night
In spite of the disappointing days
In spite of my sickness

I still Love you.

Wow! I like this poem in so many ways. You have nailed feelings we have, but have not expressed as wisely as you. It is a favorite poem for me Verlena.

Regina, this is a wonderful tribute to our often overlooked, selfless, most wonderfully giving heroes! Thank you for writing this, my friend!

Hilarious! So fast-paced and fun to read, Carolyn. This should win a contest somewhere.

Always stuck with the dishes! So true, but for me it was every Sunday, and we had at least 18 eating at grandma's. This poem resounded in my soul, Sheltial. Brought back so many things I had forgotten. Thank you!

I love this: "the one who has truly won is the one who has spared the innocent ones." Nice!
