Troubles

The morning brought a sickness
The little one cried in pain
Taking her to a doctor
Was easily said than done
As the day progressed into noon
Troubles poured in twos
How the whole day passed
Couldn’t recall in this swoon
The run to the hospital 
And trouble from every nook
Seemed like life was not worth
Living nor could be left behind
For so many lives depended
On me to see they ran smoothly

Parents with sick children must experience a great deal of stress, Tahera. And I bet it feels like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders sometimes when you are responsible for the health and wellbeing of your family. Well expressed! Congratulations on your win! Love, Carolyn

ahhhhh YOU must delegate!!and remember if what you are doing for them is disempowering them rather than impowering them, you are not doing good, a hard, hard lesson, I'm still working on it ;). Light & Love
