Life's Flower Poem by Darlene Walsh

Life's Flower

Rating: 2.3


Ah, pretty flower what promises you bring
I'm a women now, it's time to sing
All ways for an adult are now open to me
There can be nothing better you must agree

Monthly discomfort is small price to pay
For a beautiful baby someday I pray
Life is so good, Life is so great
Wonderful is a woman's monthly fate

Month after month is the eternal cost
Or the human race would soon be lost
Life goes on monthly, year after year
Family grows with children I lovingly rear

I'm doing fine but I'll skip swimming today
I need to go shopping, I'll find a way
It always comes when it's least convenient
Without fear of leakage I could make an achievement

At the worst time there is no cessation
Time to cancel that planned vacation
And the price I pay goes on and on
Monthly I wish this price be gone

When life's pretty flower becomes a flood
Life threatening becomes the hemorrhaging blood
Life's flower is no more for loving gestation
Time for an outpatient endometrial ablation

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Mom had a bad year, and this past week she needed a trip to the ER for a blood transfusion, her endometrial ablation is scheduled for next week'
Update, she had a hysterectomy. She's sad to see what was an important part of her go, and glad that now useless painful parts are gone.
