A Poem I Wrote Today....Inspired By My Precious Brody...One Brave, Strong, and Inspiring Boy Who Brings Such Joy to My Life

LIFE IS SWEET, EVEN WHEN IT'S "BAD"

 

I try to fight back my tears

As you bravely fight the pain

I stand in awe

As you triumph; you are the victor

A pain comes in waves so intense and extreme

You push through and are all SMILES in between

 

I ask why, why, why, Cancer!

You accept it and live life's Joy, Joy, Joy!

I grieve for the what could have been

You enjoy the here and now

My heart aches as I watch you endure a very bad day

On which, you shoot grins that feel my heart with utter joy

 

As I hope and pray for memories I fear may not be made

You make me laugh and smile at the memories made

Just when I think I can bear no more ugliness in this world

You teach me to see the beauty in life

Through this journey together I have never felt such pain

But also, have never experienced such Joy

 

Before you, I did not truly live

But now I SEE

Life is so short

And very sweet

I will not waste precious time

On angry thoughts, on things I cannot change

 

I will be in the present, in the here and now

I will enjoy and truly live
