It is hard to see one's child suffering and not know how to fix the problem, because all mothers want to help. Hugs to you.

I love how you open the poem with all of the wonderful things about your son. It makes the rest of the poem more poignant. I too can feel your frustration. Your heart is wrapped up in your son's happiness, as it is for all moms. I was doing a Bible study this week that talked about the in-between times and how we handle them.
