Sleep becomes a dream sometimes
You lie awake...the pain
Solace forever striken from your existence
Tomorrow...please...tomorrow...no pain!
Endless visits to the doctors
Myriads of tests upon tests
I have Lupus
Cry...cry for the life you can no longer live!
Lessons come with their own kind of pain
Uselessness becomes something you begin to feel
People look at you and say, "But you look so good."
Understanding is a lesson that must be learned by all
Someday...no pain!
Endless days...
Remembering what it was like before
You finally accept
Tomorrow...more pain...but you have LIFE!
Hours are spent doing simple things
Each quiet moment a new pleasure
Minds are enriched reading books you never had time for
A child cuddles and says, "I'll make it better Mommy."
Things taken for granted...now treasured
Ours is a strange existence
Sunshine is an enemy...but you marvel at the stars
Useless ignorance gone, replaced with understanding of the heart
Solace becomes yours...again.
