To Surrender

To Surrender

For those experiencing physical and mental illness and their loved ones

On and on and on and

On, it goes.

That little bit

More

Than before.

Another smidgen

Of freedom

And movement

And memory

Goes.

Where?

Nobody knows.

But

It has gone.

As loved ones

Watch on

Attendant and expectant,

Ever poised.

But now

Becoming

Spent

From the ever-flowing demands

And adrenalin.

All

Surrender

In resignation

In sadness

In exhaustion.

And we,

Looking on,

And lingering

On the periphery,

Surrender too,

As the empathic

Frustration

And disappointment

Gives way

To

Surrender.

A new way forward

Has begun.

1.  Keep your post to below 500 words, as much as possible.
2. All we ask is you link to a human news story on your blog on the last Friday of each month, one that shows love, humanity, and brotherhood. Something like this news, about a man who only fosters terminally ill children.
3. Join us on the last Friday of each month in sharing news that warms the cockles of our heart. No story is too big or small, as long as it goes beyond religion and politics, into the core of humanity.
