    Poem Commentary

    I wrote this poem when I found out that I'm rejecting my last kidney transplant. I recently had a son March 13, 2009 so it make me reflect on life! Enjoy

    Final Battle?

     The news is grim and yet I still smile
    I pray to God I last just a little more while
    Constantly fighting to wake another day
    My soul is weary on what they say


    This should be my last chance at life
    To bad I will leave this world without a wife
    Letting my family to ponder all the unanswered questions
    My body is getting filled with infections


    They cry when they heard the news
    Yet I smile and hide my own blues
    I need to stay strong and keep my faith in God
    Never bowing down to hear my applaud


    Taking the negative and making the best
    My heart is good as it pumps in my chest
    No one knows when our exact time will appear
    So I will never give up and shed a tear


    As long as I know I gave it my all
    I will wear a smile when God gives me a call
    To be at one and free of my pain
    Helping pour out the November rain


    Watching over my son as he grows into a little boy
    Weeping eyes for the lost joy
    Only able to watch my son grow
    Not being able to touch him his my toll


    Yet he knows daddy is always near
    Calling upon me with all his fears
    I will wrap my arms around you and shield you from all the bad
    You make daddy so glad


    I love you my son and I hope I am here on Earth for years
    So I can wipe away all your tears!
    I love you my precious baby
    So my prayers God hears is a maybe
    And these treatments will work to buy me some more time
    Remember you are what makes daddy's life shine!

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
