one day

One day

One day, I want to get thru a full day without crying.

One day, I want to smile without feeling guilty
One day, I want getting out of bed to not be such a struggle.

One day, I want normal everyday things to not seem like monumental tasks.

One day I want to be able to smile when I remember Donnie and not cry.

One day I want to not feel so alone.

One day I want to feel like I am not being judged

One day, I want to find a new normal.

One day, I want to not be so overwhelmed by life

One day, I want to be able to sleep again.

One day, I want to feel that it is ok to start living again.

One day, I want to enjoy life again.

One day, I want to learn how to live with this hurt.

One day, I don’t want to have to pretend that I am ok.

One day, I want to be happy again.

One day I want peace and quiet to not be such a lonely place


Maybe, One Day…………………..

It will take time but you will get through this, as you say "One Day". Your writing is very, very good. I was wondering if it was ok to post your poem "What They Don't See" on my blog???
I'd really appreciate others knowing how we all feel when our loved ones have been diagnosed with cancer.
Take care now and thinking of you always.

Robin, I can so identify with what you wrote today and what you have been writing. My husband Richard died of RCCL on Nov.29th. Some of where you want to be I am starting to experience and some of where you are I still am! I love your writing. My thoughts are with you, Ellen
