Unwanted

Unwanted You were never there When I needed care You took off When things got rough And moved on The day you decided I was an unwanted son I hear news about you here and there To myself, I whisper in despair How life is not fair I sometimes breakdown and cry And wish to die Because deep inside Where my feelings hide I long for a fatherly hug Like a recovering addict to his drug I looked for your face during my graduation I missed your smile after my promotion A face I never had the chance to see A smile I only imagine to feel free How can I celebrate your special day When your name is synonym of betray?

Your father and I have has numerous conv...

Pain

Oh Lord, help me to feel your calming hand upon me when I am in pain. Let your ever-loving comfort enfold me, And give me the heart to see that in my suffering, I am becoming closer to you...and more divine. Coming up on my 4th set of injections since April I can't help but wonder if it will help.  There is nothing more disappointing that watching the patients before you come out and be so excited about life and being pain free. I want to be pain free.  I can't stand feeling like I am missing out on so much of life because of pain.  I am glad that I am beginning to understand the dimensions of pain and what I have lost in my life.  I have lost the freedom I had before of going and going with no physical pain making me want to take medications or just lay down.  I have to make sure that my medications go everywhere with me just in case. I can't workout like I use to. I am so grateful for having the best people in my life. Patience and understanding are cha...
