Training wheels & bedtime stories
Diabetes
I’m sorry for all I do
To make your life living hell
I should be asleep right now
but no, I’m up writing poems about you!
You really behave
When I treat you like a baby
But don’t you understand?
After 25 years
you’re no longer a baby!
You shouldn’t need all this help
Constant hand holding you do
You should be able to take care of yourself
After all I do most days,
You listen here!
I do my best to support you
It’s just that 25 years ago
When you arrived
I didn’t know all that was in store
Sleepless nights, frequent bathroom trips too
Blood sugars that make me so tired
I just don’t know what I’ll do
May I take off the training wheels
Oh dear sweet child of mine,
Maybe you could ride off for a little while
Take a wrong turn.
Oh, did I just say that?
Well maybe just maybe
You might understand sometimes
Why I want you to get lost!
I promise to tuck you in
to your bed each night
I’ll even give you a kiss on your cheek
And tell a bedtime story
just the way you like!
I’m going to let you sleep now as it’s getting very late
Just know I really am here for you
It’s just that sometimes
I need a break!
