Dream Snatcher

I have dreamed of being a mother

since I was a tiny little being.

I played with baby dolls until I was up to the age of thirteen.

I loved the job of babysitting when I was finally a teen.

I have always dreamed and wondered

about the type of mother I could be.

I am at the conceiving age now or perhaps even a little past it.

I watch as a joyful bystander while all of my friends have children,

them not knowing that they are living in a season that I will

always be missing.

Internally I feel robbed of everything,

especially robbed from one of the greatest gifts

us humans have ever seen.

I will never create a life or raise a soul,

I will have no one to look after as I get old.

Cancer has snatched my dreams away from me

& the lingering side effects of the Hysterectomy stick around

simply to torment me.
