Remember my laugh Not my struggle for breath In the aftermath Of my smoker's death. Think of the children I love beyond belief And how I have saddled Them with this grief. And how, when it comes To their wedding day, I won't be there To give my daughters away. And when they cry And are consumed by fears I won't be there To dry their tears. And how these girls I love like no other Will be left in this world Without their mother. I rush to my grave With incredible speed All for the love Of this noxious ****.
My husband asked me to write a poem about the fact I'm still smoking & what it will do to my kids if I die. So here it is. Not easy to write & even harder to read back
