Recuperating with Affection

For what reason do you cry, my fatigued soul?

I've faced long conflicts paid the cost.

Will you presently discover a sense of reconciliation you look for?

I long for strength, however I feel powerless.

What held you down during these difficult years?

Heartburn, upchuck, vast tears.

Did you long for days outside, lighthearted?

I missed so a lot; it tortured me.

Do you fault yourself for what's been lost?

I see my kids and consider the consequences.

Will you recuperate, rise, and mend?

I need to, however my injuries are genuine.

What of the joy that lies ahead?

Three children’s love, their lives I've led.

Can they still see the strength within you?

They give me courage unyielding will.

Will your body ache forevermore?

Three C-sections, tooth pain—now one surgery more.

Do you regret the choices made?

I carry guilt, but it's started to fade.

Will you soon be active, strong, and free?

I hope for that, my family needs me.

What keeps your spirit burning bright?

My children’s smiles, their future’s light.

Can you find rest, let healing begin?

With their love, I'll fight and win.
