I'm barely able to walk with a cane, <br />body is filled with so much pain, <br />so much time lost, laying down, <br />my cries the only sound. <br />Please, give me a break! <br />Somebody tell me there's been a mistake! <br />I wasn't nearly through, <br />so much more I wanted to do! <br />For an awesome lark, <br />I'd take my grandkids to a water park. <br />I want to take them on mountain hikes <br />and to the beach, riding bikes. <br />I want to take them to camp and fish, <br />is it just going to remain a wish? <br />I want to teach them things I wish I'd been taught <br />and laugh with them-alot! <br />I long for this and more to be, <br />are just pain and tears my destiny? <br />05/22/03<br /><br />Barbara Haskell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/destiny-63/
