Sinead Looby Poet Rhyme

Menopause Moment

MENOPAUSE MOMENT 

It comes on uninvited and it does not make you excited  
Heart flutters ensue  
To an almighty hue     
Of crimson red       
Lighting up your face and head 
Next comes the tsunami of sweat 
Accompanied by an almighty dread   
Will anyone see the tell-tale signs 
Will they think I have been on the wine? 
Doctors scratch their chins and ponder   
While you garble questions and just wonder Will your brain capsize? Will you stay alive? Beneath the bluster and blunder    
Which is now your life      
Thank God your no one’s wife! 
So, there is no womb prayer  
Just you, pulling out your hair No soft voice                            
In the middle of the night  
Telling you it will be alright?

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
