Description: Today is my fall apart day...my son will have to have surgery, and I know that you have to think the best but the dark cloud has covered me today, or maybe this has all just caught up to me. He is just so small and I haven’t even had him to myself yet.
I want to thank Magnicat for the poem Hope, every time it seems to cloud up I think of Hope in her yellow rain coat with apple pie and it makes me feel like I can do this...so thank you Cat.
To much to carry,
And I begin to stumble.
How can happiness
So quickly change her tune?
Now I'm tied
As I sit back and watch it unfold
I'm useless
I'm tired
I want to do more
But there is no more to do.
I have to trust
In Him
But to me right now
The unseen seems so detached
But I have no time to question this
It has just always been.
I've begun to question myself...
And I feel so responsible,
I don’t feel like I have the strength to handle this
And I'm wanting to hide until this has ended
But there she stands
Hope
And I know that if I could stand beside her
Maybe my courage would come out of hiding
And I could find my strength
To make it though
My sadness.
you are a very courageous woman Denise, and you have been through so much with your son in such a short time. you have strength you probably didn't even know you had, but i know it is hard and you seem to sag under the weight of it all. i am glad that Hope has given you comfort in your times of pain and that she can be a beacon for you. you and Dougie are always in my thoughts and prayers, and i will go light a candle for him at the church today. you will get through this, trust in God to help you and to keep Dougie safe and sound.
I am sorry for your personal situation. The poem definitely expresses the emotional rollercoaster you are on at the moment. while I know it may seem cliché, rest assured God is aware of your need. Trusting in Him, regardless of the outcome is what faith is all about.
You touched a lot of hearts with this write. Please feel free to drop in on my page and read some encouragement in regard to faith.
I know you dont say what kind of surgery,but i can relate to this emotional write.My own son had surgery at 5 yrs old and the feelings of helplessness,anxiety and tiredness you portray here are well known to me.I am very moved by this write and i will pray for you that all will be well.Hope is a great friend in these times,as are family and friends god bless,be strong graham
You must have a friend/family member/person from oppisite gender who is under depression and you either did something to her/him, or you feel like you've done something him/her but you don't know what.
But the last few lines also gives a hint that you must like this person, you want to ask them out but you don't have the courage to do so.
the poem was quite good, but I felt as if it repeated it self.
