I look around see the trees
I remember how life used to be
When life was so carefree
When I could just be me
The time changed
My life totally rearranged
My child almost taken from me
How cruel life can be
I sat back and watched her fight
When my whole body was filled with fright
She won the fight yet her battle continues on
I often sit and wonder why all this cant be gone
I watch her each and every day
Knowing I can't look at her like she is different in any way
How can I remain sane?
What will having diabetes gain
At the age of twenty-four
I want to walk out the door
She holds the key to my heart
I could never tear us apart
Though someday this more than I can endure
Never do I lay my head down without asking for a cure
In the end we will win the war
I know in my heart that's for sure
