Poetry: I Don’t Want to Miss It …

I Don’t Want to Miss It ...

This is a poem extracted from No-Sugar Added® Poetry

I have two angels in my life

And a love too

And I DON’T want to miss it

I want to see this story through

I want to be there for the science fairs, spring concerts

The boo boos, the flu, to catch them when they fall

The birthdays, graduations, weddings, grandchildren

And not miss a thing, see it all

I want to grow old with him

To be his gray-haired old friend

All wrinkly and prune-like

When we reach our eternal end

I want to be there just in case

My greatest fear becomes real

To carry some of the burden

To understand how it feels

I’m too stubborn to give in

And committed to endure

So I take my daily steps

In hopes WE find a cure

I am a mother

I am a wife

I am a diabetic

And I don’t want to miss any of it.
