Ah, pretty flower what promises you bring <br />I'm a women now, it's time to sing <br />All ways for an adult are now open to me <br />There can be nothing better you must agree <br /> <br />Monthly discomfort is small price to pay <br />For a beautiful baby someday I pray <br />Life is so good, Life is so great <br />Wonderful is a woman's monthly fate <br /> <br />Month after month is the eternal cost <br />Or the human race would soon be lost <br />Life goes on monthly, year after year <br />Family grows with children I lovingly rear <br /> <br />I'm doing fine but I'll skip swimming today <br />I need to go shopping, I'll find a way <br />It always comes when it's least convenient <br />Without fear of leakage I could make an achievement <br /> <br />At the worst time there is no cessation <br />Time to cancel that planned vacation <br />And the price I pay goes on and on <br />Monthly I wish this price be gone <br /> <br />When life's pretty flower becomes a flood <br />Life threatening becomes the hemorrhaging blood <br />Life's flower is no more for loving gestation <br />Time for an outpatient endometrial ablation<br /><br />Darlene Walsh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/life-s-flower-3/
