Struggles

Struggles

I watched with tears in my eyes
As you struggled to live.
I saw the look on your face
As you spoke up softly; Mom?

I begged God to let you live
As you fought your demons.
I held you in my arms
As you cried out in pain.

I saw the straps being put on
As you begged to be left alone.
I ran out of the room
As you cursed everyone in sight.

I wait and pray there won’t be a next time
As you get to leave the hospital again.
I try to believe what you tell me
As you say you can beat this thing.

Till next time!
