I have just read this very touching poem from Wendi of Simply Chronically ill.

It’s so well written and touched my heart. I am sharing this here with her permission.

when i see you cry

a small part of me dies

i want to shelter you from every storm

create a world that is safe

for you to be free from pain

i want you to move through life as you please

independently with abundance of laughter and joy

but life is not always fair

bad things happen to extraordinary people

and despite my deepest desire and my fervent prayers

i can’t make it better

so when i see you cry

part of me dies…….
