Lady in waiting for M lady Emma

story poem

Lady in waiting.

 

The night wind sings a lullaby

 around the attic nursery.

Which I prepared so hopefully.

 But now it’s filled with misery.

 

For cancer set its claws in me.

I had a hysterectomy.

When I was only twenty three.

My cherished dream can never be.

 

We shared such dreams my man and I

That we would raise a family.

But now I weep and wonder why

 my husband still wants to be with me.

 

Although he says he loves me still

I can’t be sure he always will.

Now that I know I can’t fulfil

the dreams we shared. My eyes still fill

 

with bitter tears I cannot shed.

The dreams we shared are long since dead.

 A childless future lies ahead.

But there is hope my husband said.

 

We could adopt a child or two.

 A girl for me a boy for you.

and that is what we’re going to do

A cherished dream we can renew.

 

We can still have a family

to occupy the nursery.

Which will dispel my misery.

I view the future hopefully.

 

It sometimes takes a tragedy

to wake us up so we can see.

A golden opportunity

 a plan on which we both agree

 

 

The night winds sing a lullaby

and very soon now so shall I.

To pacify my own baby

Alerted by his smallest cry

God this is beautiful and speaks of the love we all hope we can rise to!

Sometimes we have to make our own happy endings in spite of fate

[Cassandra D.]

The ending was so beautifully written and I enjoyed it.

Such a beautiful tenderness in your words... love lasts.. through pain... loss.. it carries on... thrives... You bring a hope and vivid sense of life through this poem.
