When life was simple <br />Was when I was in mother's womb? <br />but wait we were poor so my mom got no prenatal care. <br /> <br />When life was simple <br />Was when my mother gave birth to me...? <br />but wait I was born premature with a collapsed lung unable to breathe. <br /> <br />When life was simple <br />Was when I was 6 month old? <br />but wait that was when my mom found out I have Cerebral Palsy. <br /> <br />When life was simple <br />Was when I was about ten? <br />but wait that when I was called the little cripple boy who has no friends. <br /> <br />When life was simple <br />I was about 26 <br />but wait that when my mother scoffed at my poetic gift. <br /> <br />Well I'm 41 now <br /> and throughout the years there's one thing I have learned <br />Life is never simple.<br /><br />Lore Me34<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-life-was-simple/
