The Diabetes Daughter

The worrying never stops morning, noon and night
The tension that surrounds us you could cut it with a knife
The confusion and the questions, nothing ever seems to make sense
You are climbing a tremendous mountain everyday from the beginning to the end

Some days you are victorious and you reach the very top,
Looking on with hopes and amazement but waiting for that dreadful drop
Other days you take a step only to fall down in dismay
But on these days you get back up because there has to be a better way

For this is a journey that we must win, not for us but for our kin
It's a long and rocky road ahead but as always we will keep climbing
We believe and we know, that the most wonderous day is coming
The day when I can tell my daughter it is all done, the dream has come
That day when they find a cure I will praise that day for you and for me
and from that day on my sweet little Cara, the diabetes daughter you no longer must be

Poor Little Fingers

Dear fingers, dear fingers, oh poor dear little fingers
So precious, So delicate, sweet 10 little fingers

Once used to hold tight to a loving mothers hand
Now used as a life line giving blood on demand

Once polished with pink and sparkeling bright
Now poked with sharp needles to try to get this diabetes thing right

Once so soft and so smooth with a touch of an angel
Now scared and so marked with memories of each and every needle

Dear fingers, dear fingers I'm so deeply sorry
but without you there would be a sad end to this story

The Fight

The nemesis is invisible, you can not see it
The nemesis is invincible, you can not beat it
The enemy is very strong, extremely controlling and just so damn daunting
And the memories of life before, of what was, are just too damn haunting
Diabetes has taken aim against a little girl, who had turned 3 years just before
But she is not alone in this battle, her army is beside her hand in hand as we go to war
So if there is anyone out there who knows how to defeat it, please fill me in
We are fighting but we are struggling and we really do need a win

This one I wrote for a child with T1

If Diabetes Was A Monster

If Diabetes was a monster what would it be:

Would it be ferocious and mean
Like nothing you have ever seen
Would it make you tremble in your feet
Really something you would never want to meet

OR

Would it be quiet and meek
Lurking around like a little sneak
Hiding over and under
I really do wonder

If Diabetes was a monster how would it move:

Would it move fast like the speed of light
Throughout the day and all of the night

OR

Would it be sluggish and slow with out making a sound
Creeping and crawling all around town


If diabetes was a monster what would you say:

Would you say hi with a smile but still run away
OR
Would you yell and would you shout "GO AWAY AND GET OUT"

If diabetes was a monster what would that make you:

A SUPER STRONG
SUPER TOUGH
SUPER BRAVE
SUPER KID.....
A SUPER HERO that is who!

Time For A Break

It's time for a break
Is anyone listening?
It's time for a break
I'm paitently still waiting...

It's not a lot that I'm asking
Just a few minutes pretty please
Some quiet, some peace, just some time without D
