A poem i wrote about support and being there for kids with diabetes...
Drops of Love
Grown-ups are ready
Ready I know
To deal with a world
Filled with highs and real lows
A different story
I know for the kids
Shots to their bodies
And all they must miss
Feeling sorry...
Not what they need
Support, understanding
Good thoughts to believe
Good thoughts to believe
A friend to hold
Someone who'll listen
Someone who knows
Someone who'll be there
Morning to night
To help with all
The anger and fright
I know quite well
How tough this task...
The daily grind
How long will it last?
Beyond today...
Before the cure
Help these kids
To feel secure
Help me help them
Feel the love
And not the Daily
Drops of blood.
While, I am an insulin dependant diabetic, I’m also a kid’s marketer and advocate. With testing easier and better than ever and all the wonderful support available at every turn, kids with diabetes can truly live, act and feel pretty normal. Now how good is that!
