I often wonder what it would be like...

I have always liked to write poetry. I know I'm not the greatest at it...but I like to do it. So I won't apologize if it is horrible...lolol...cause writing it makes me feel better.

I often wonder what it would be like...
to not have to give any more needles
to not have to check any blood sugars
to not have to stress about illnesses
to not have to worry about highs and lows
I often wonder what it would be like...
to not have this ball and chain around my foot
dragging it around every day never-ending
carrying the weight of diabetes
with every step I take
on and on forever attached
I often wonder what it would be like...
to lay down in bed at night and do just that
lay
and sleep freely
no terrifying feeling in the depths of my heart about waking without her
I wish i had the words to tell her...
she is my world
she is my heart
she is my soul
she makes me ME
I wish I had the words to tell her...
she makes everything better
more beautiful
more innocent
fun
real
Diabetes may be on this road with us...
but WE are the leaders of the walk
WE are the leaders hand in hand
step by step
moment by moment
we continue on together.
I don't know how I lived before I had her hand to hold
