    Brought tears to my eyes, but let me make my self clear.
    It was not the illness that touched my heart, nor the things your son have to go through.
    FOr I believe everything got a reason in this life, and god never give us a burden that we can't handle..so as it has been said. Be proud..God thinks you can do it !!

    What touched me was...the mother instinct u reflected..the love the boundless love ..u have no idea how much poems bout family touch me..for thats the most thing I feel like I lack..tho i have...
    and HEre I have with all honesty felt the love u pump for ur son..the bitterness u feel..how you are ready to sacrifice your self..to have his life lived normally..

    But ttrust me...if u think your son is ill, then trust me you have gave him a treasure that no illness can deprive him from feeling it.

    5/5

    Brought tears to my eyes..
    but let me clear something out.
    It was not your sons illness that touched my heart, not the things he had to go through.Cause as a believer I know God never gives us a burden that we can't handle. ..so as it has been said BE proud God think you can do it!

    U have no idea how much..how deep poetry about family..touch me ..for thats the kind of care I lack..tho have!/

    What touched me..was ur endless love..r care..the mother instinct that's deeply found in u.
    Ready to sacrifice your own happiness and rest for your son.
    Not only did u word this in a very touchy amazing way.
    reflecting yearnings oof a mother who wants to kiss her sons pain away.
    BUT u also proved that eeven in his illness...you have given your son a treasure..that illness it self can't take it away from him.

    5/5

    It is a very good sad but heartfelt poem. The wording was great and described some of the effects of being Bi-polar nicely. It is a good length and it flowed ok from beginning to end. I see nothing that needs to be worked on. I think that the 2nd stanza was my favorite.

    gave it a 5/5

    It must have been difficult to write this sherry... finding your way to express your suffering of every minute, every moment and your kiddie too... You emoted this so well, it had tears in my eyes... A mother longs for her kid to be cured and the emotions delved every moment to yearn for their betterment is just difficult to express.... You have laid this poem very well....

    Why must these feelings continue
    Unable to do anything; helpless
    Loving you more than life
    Yet, unable to cure your illness

    ^^^
    Soo emotional... sometimes you are left helpless... true enough...!!!:'(

    My life would be freely given
    Merely for you to find happiness
    Delirium visions with mirage demons
    No longer would haunt your innocence

    ^^^

    emotes your true love for your child and what you could do for them.

    Medication, physicians; even therapist
    Daily existence no longer experienced
    Freed from agonizing mental torture
    Living life filled with cheerfulness

    ^^^

    Yes your child will hopefully live better and he is indeed lucky to have you as mum who is just the best...:)

    Wonderful Sherry:)
    Love ya:*
    God bless
