I had a thought to write a poem about this, since it has to do with one of the best days of my life.
Something very few get to do.
I was someone's chosen one, to save her life
To give her a beginning anew.
It was a scary day in the hospital
Not comfortable with all the pricking.
The side effects to my meds were peaking
and to be honest, it was horribly sickening
As much as I wanted it to be over
I wanted to time to stop
I needed to forever remember this day
No further moment could ever top.
I went home feeling better
And I was so proud of what I did
I couldn't believe I made a difference
Maybe I wasn't just a kid.
I looked down at my hand and saw
where the IV attempts left their spots
two on my hand, two on my wrist
Once I was connected, now just dots.
Reflecting on this day makes me smile
those little snakebites still show
barely visible, but still there
for me to look down, and know.
I know what I did that day
I know my dream came true
I know I was able to save someone
and I know I did what I was destined to do.
I kind of hope these marks stay forever. Although I don't particularly like scars, these little snakebites of mine would definitely be an exception.
Love you Mom. Forever and ever.
Love your baby doll,
Tessy Loo Loo
