Remnants and Scraps of Time: Need a special Valentines Day gift box? Let's make one!

A poem dedicted to my daughter.

The Life of an Epileptic

We are a unique breed
To be normal is all we plead.
For that wish runs away,
Because our true nature will haunt us till our last day.

For some, hope stays,
But for others, from this path we cannot stray.
For death to us is near,
For we do not know how long we may be here.

Because all it takes is one,
For our lives to be done.
For some the near death experience is real,
And for those the scars will never heal.

For this thing we can barely control,
And on us and others, it takes a toll.
For all we can do is guess and hope for the best,
And pray that God will take care of the rest.

For this is the life of an Epileptic,
For this is my cross to carry, and I accept it.

I hope you might join mine also. 😄
I must admit I find three out of four don't kindly reciprocate when you join theirs, which can be very discouraging.

I wonder if you publish your comments? I couldn't see any on any of your posts.... and you do beautful work, so must get some.

I have numerous chronic conditions which have resulted with many close calls, last about six months ago, where it was very touch and go, so I really understand the thought in that poem.
I have though as Paul said, "learned in whatsoever state I am in therewith to be content". It's hard but I am thankful God made me as He did. My life is so much richer for it.
Thanks for sharing your inspiration,
