The Joys of Life
A proud mother to be doesn't expect this:
9 months of pain
An then finally a huge relief of pressure through water occurs
It’s time for labor
Swerving from lane to lane to get to the hospital
Finally we arrive and are rushed into an empty room
Everything was moving fast until now
Now we have to wait on the baby's decision on whether he/she wants to come
After 17 hours of tedious labor
It’s finally time to hear the cry of a baby and a mother
A busy room filled with nurses and family members
An the proud shout of it’s a boy filled the air
Suddenly nothing else matters
Just the expectation of the child
You could feel the expectation for the child throughout the room
And those expectations followed as soon as the mother and child arrived to this place called home
Reading, and educational television shows to enhance the Childs’ mind
Until something starts to mess up the mother and child’s daily routines
That thing was the child starts having sudden seizures and drastically failing health
An now spending day after day in the hospital hooked up to every hospital machines there is
Now the once healthy child is no longer healthy
Is now the mother has to make a choice let the child be a human vegetable or pull the plug
It seems as if all that pain and long hours in labor was useless, but it also didn't amount of the pain and misery that she was in now
At this point she truly understood the meaning of the saying “It hurts me more than it hurts you"
She chooses to pull the plug.......
They're babies and then there is this thing
It's pitch black in the day and sunny at night
It's ruthless
Careless
Just down right disrespectful
Always expected, but never hoped for
9.5 out of 10 dislike it
But I come to realize that, it’s just a part of life that doesn't care how you deal with it
It moves in swiftly without warning and stays a little past its welcome
It doesn't discriminate against race, gender, or age
It takes whomever it wants with it including the ones closes to your heart
It is........................death
It’s something that we all as humans have to cope with regardless of how we feel about it
It something that we all have to face some day
Death is something in life that we finally don't have a choice about
It's funny how everyone wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to die
