Thank you, Kerya....
now as THE DATE looms closer (Sept. 22nd.) .... it's difficult to deal... and sometimes I have to 'talk to my inner child'.... I do that best through my poetry....
To my Inner Child
I see your enormous eyes filled with fear looking up at me,
As you bite your lip, furrow your brow, sending a silent plea,
Begging with me to stop us from going through all this pain,
Unable to accept the reasons, all the good that we will gain.
I know you're unbelievably frightened about our surgery,
And how much you need reassurance that is gentle and motherly,
I'm so sorry I don't have that skill because of my dysfunctional family.
But remember we both can lean on, and trust our son and his wife Wendy,
It's true, we've been weighed down by fears; that's been our burden.
Still, we do have a very skilled anesthesiologist and surgeon,
Plus the good thoughts and prayers from our chosen family and friends,
We'll have help through this experience, we'll overcome, even transcend!
