The Great Pretender

I follow a PCOS support group on Facebook and someone had posted this fantastic poem on their wall. I wanted to share it with anyone else who suffers from infertility who may just happen to some day stumble upon my little blog.


Here it is:

The Great Pretender


Shopping around and having fun,
Little shoes and hats for the sun...
Wrapped in pink or baby blue,
...But none for me... All for you.

Tiny shoes, she'll be in style,
When I see them I give you a smile.
But it tears my heart in two...
Still none for me... all for you.

I rub your bellies when you come around,
Pretending all day that I'm not feeling down.
I'll never let you see the truth...
It hurts to know it's all for you.

I pray everyday up to Him,
"Please know I'm happy for them,
But there is no other lesson to learn.
When, dear God, will it be my turn?"
