Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Wish by MwsR
My Thanksgiving wish has nothing to do with all the yummy food.

Except that those who are hungry, that they will have some.

My Thanksgiving wish has to do with all that we have around us, either in our hearts or in our presence.

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to make memories with our loved ones and friends. It can also be terrible for those that are financially hurting or those families that bicker and fight.

It can be hard trying to move on and look past mistakes and greivences but we all should try.

No family is perfect, no matter how many lovely pictures and things they try to display or post about. No one family has it all together.

There will times that you dislike each other or maybe that you just don’t connect on the same basis. That is okay.

I know with my family we have had our moments.

The hardest thing to remember is , we are only humans. God did not make us divine or spotless, or even flawless. He made us each with our own quirks. He inspired us though to be better than we can and to keep reaching to help others and understand others and to love each other.

Some people are missing from around our tables this year. Some may never had the chance to sit at our tables. Whatever it is know that you too are not alone.

As for my house we miss those we can not see again, or talk to during this season especially. I miss that I will never get to spend a Thanksgiving with my birth mom, except once.

I miss my father-in-law and the company he frequented us with.

There is my half-sister who is in jail, again, that won’t have a good Thanksgiving. I miss times in my life when I felt connected to each one I love.

My Thanksgiving wish is that all of us look around and truly , TRULY, be happy for all we have. That maybe we can in turn help someone else who might need help and comforting.

We all know someone!

Holidays can be brutal, they can also be a time to reflect and be THANKFUL.

I choose to be THANKFUL and pray for those who need to courage or resources or whatever it may be to make it through another Holiday Season.

If you have managed to sit through this post I am thankful for that to.

Hurts

 

When life gets you down

And turns that smile into a frowns

When taking in criticisms you feel you are about to drown

I hope you know it hurts me too.

When all you want to do is flee

Things that hurt you bounce back to me

It is not as helpless as it seems

When you hurt, I do too.

Whenever silence takes a back seat

The world can be cruel and on your back it will try to beat

Don’t fall down, turn around with your feet

I will be there, whatever hurts you.

Hurts come in all strange ways

Falling from your heart strangling what we want to say

It is okay

Just know you are never alone.

Poem/You

You by MwsR
You give your deepest heart affection

Yet still you’ll face deep rejection 

Your  mind thinks you’re  crazy and blind

Your spirit wraps your will up in a bind.

You take from a person whenever you will

But forget about the fact that you care still.

Noone sees the times you’re alone

The times when you feel like your heart seems to roam.

People will take and take without guilt or shame

Why is it they play like they’re playing a game?

You’re  tired of users, players, and jokes

Yes, these are some of your friends you include in those folks.

Sadly, it is true

Not everyone truly cares about you.

Die, I think I shall try to avoid doing

I do not want to die, nor should I

Diabetes does not have to kill me

I can fight this thing will my all

I will challenge anything I see fit to challenge

Be it the doctors of the Diabetic Law.

I want to run with the vigor anyone else does

I will not give up without a fight

I can and will beat this terrible thing

Maybe not physically, but mentally.

I do not have to die because I refused to fight

Live, I think so, the most I can

With this disease that will be a stumbling block

But not a road block.

I hate this disease but love living

Not to die but to beat this, in all ways possible.

Poem/Thanksgiving

I am thankful that I escaped

That I left and had the courage that it would take

I am thankful that my heart started to smile

Despite all at that time in my life was senile

I am thankful that I did not fall apart

While trying to separate my heart.

I am thankful that life can be grand

Despite all the hurt that can follow a man.

I am so thankful my love never dried up

That I could forgive and such.

I am most thankful that my life started again

Regardless of all that I went through back then.

I am thankful like a deer that escapes the hunter’s bow

Like a cold frost that can destroy things and then knows when to let go.

I am much thankful for new beginnings

And  for being able to hear the songs that birds are singing.

From start to finish, onward I must go

Always striving to see thanksgiving in all I live to know.

Poem/Diabetes

It’s Gonna Kill Me(thoughts about Diabetes)

By MwsR

It’s going to kill me!

Was what I had in my head immediately.

I can’t afford the medicine

I don’t follow a strict regimen.
Now what will I have to give up in my life?

Will I still be a good wife?

What will people say?

Will they stay with me or walk away?
I can not donate my pancreas or blood

Sort of like a flower stem wishing for a bud.

I have a bad part inside of me,

Never thought this was how my life would be.
Maybe I wasn’t nice enough

Or too tough.

Maybe I deserve my lot

Or all that with Diabetes I’ve got.
These thoughts have entered my mind,

Especially the one that reminds me that with Diabetes you can go blind.
It’s a scary disease.

It makes you want to be able to freeze,

Freeze that good blood sugar,so you want  have one that is bad

But truth is this disease really makes me mad.

Makes me mad that I cannot choose what I want to eat or drink.

Mad, because it makes me always have to think.
Sometimes I just want to be at ease with food choices

Sometimes I want to listen to those eat sugar voices.

Mostly though I want to live happily,

Mainly because of my family.

But ultimately I want to give hope and keep hope.

I don’t want to know what it’s like to be at the end of the “survival rope”.
If in words I can share

I will also be able to show that I care.

Poem/ What I know

What I Know(Diabetic’s thoughts)

By MwsR
It just takes one bite

And my sugar stays high all night.

One can of a regular coke

And feeling tired afterwards is no joke.

Wanting to overeat

But knowing inside it will make my bloodsugars peak.

At birthday parties passing up on the cake,

Because you hate that “sugar high” headache.

Feeling tired all day long

The food you ate and what kind was all wrong.

Wanting to get in shape 

Exercising only with enough calorie intake.

Going out on the town to a favorite food place

Catching the frown you’re given from your loved one’s face.

Being told “You know that is wrong to do”,

But asking them ,”And just who the heck are you?”

It’s never not thought about

Never easy without a doubt.

Diabetes is a complication and disease

But doesn’t have to bring you to your knees.

Take control, take back your life.

Make it count regardless of any strife.
