Another year

March 26, 2011 by heatherss 11 Comments

37 tomorrow

Another year passes by

The pain doesn’t get easier

In fact it intensifies

My dogs give me love

Lick my hand

Jump into my arms

Hubby bought me beautiful roses

I am so grateful for what I have

But sometimes I get tired of positive thinking

All my life I’ve been good

Trying

trying

waiting

waiting

I just feel sad

And old

it’s been five years of trying

And wonder if I will ever get my baby

Or if each year will continue to pass like this

    Happy birthday Heather! Milestones like birthdays are hard aren’t they? Be gentle with yourself; you’re not a year older, just one day older than yesterday. 😉

    Really looking forward to playing your interview tomorrow at the FFTS!

    Thanks, ladies. 🙂 At least I have your very kind words. Actually am feeling a lot better – went shopping yesterday! Retail therapy, people! Got a nice wallet and beautiful blouse.

    Ja, can’t many of us relate to your poem. I certainly do. The funny part is I pine more on my hubby’s birthday because it means I’m not far behind him and I still haven’t had my baby!
