The pain you’re in I can see <br />When you say this to me <br />There is nothing the matter wrong with me <br />I’m as healthy as can be <br />You have pain from your toes up to your knees <br />When you talk you talk with a wheeze <br />Your blood is too thick sometimes too thin <br />But you’re awfully well for the shape you are in <br />Time goes by so slowly so quick <br />When you walk you walk with a stick <br />Angina spray you puff under your tongue <br />This does not make sense for someone so young <br />Diabetic, angina and sleep-ap <br />She puts on her mask as she takes a nap <br />Her ailments are way to long for me to list <br />Her future is foggy and covered with mist <br />Day by day she injects insulin <br />But she’s awfully well for the shape she is in<br /><br />nicola burkett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-brave-mother/
