Strain & Pain

The phone rings and I say ‘Hi’
I hear what they say and can’t help but cry.
It feels like I’m falling from far up high!
Consumed by the fear that he really may die.
I’m in the car & have to fly
I’m miles away & so have ground to gain.
I get to A&E and see the strain.
I feel an uncontrollable pain.
He’s just lying there with a fixed stare.
Tubes and suckers, here and there.
We’re all craving help
But from where?!
In private I cry and even yelp!
Caught in a fight against despair!
Sat fixed to the spot...

At last we finally get to gaze
Upon our beautiful babygirl with amaze
You feel like a gift from above
I'm overjoyed & full of love
I love your mother & there could never be another
How do you fancy a baby brother? :)

Clients are liars you'll eventually see
They promise the world just before they flee
They have no disgrace
They lie to your face
You never can tell and who knows
Even the biggest liars sometimes close
So never give up or even rest
Pick up the phone and just do your best.

I am the Pessimist!

The good in people hidden in the mist!

I want to trust the strangers smile!

But trust from me will take a while!

I am honestly glad....

If you turn out not to be bad!

Once the mist is clear......

The trust we have, we'll hold dear!!
