Mother's Woe

MOTHER’S WOE

My head aches,
my heart breaks,
body shakes.
Mind awake
for son’s sake.

Son’s illness,
I witness.
Please bring us
his wellness
his fitness.

It is reality, Anne-Lise. I am so glad that he is turning around now. It was hard to care for him seeing him having a very tough time with his breathing for more than a month... severe case of Covid. Thank you. Have a great weekend.

I hope this is fiction. I see so many children sick in hospital. Otherwise very well written.

Hello, Victor. No it's not fiction. My son contracted Covid when he went to Las Vegas late November. He had SOB and was hospitalized for 2 days, released with oxygen on 12/6. He is just now turning around, still needing oxygen sometimes. Happy New Year. Blessings to you. Thank you.

Thanks so much, Marshall. At least I can breathe now, I mean relax. It was so hard for me to watch my 41 year old son out of breath, even with oxygen for more than a month. Thank you. Please be safe and stay safe. Blessings to you.

I can so well relate. When children grow sick it is a great agony for the mothers ! A great entry for the contest, Marilene !
